Labor reform? "Everyone wants it". Agreement "is perfectly possible"

Jornal de Negócios13 September 2026 at 11:00

Gustavo Paulo Duarte, leader of the CCP (Confederation of Commerce and Services of Portugal), states that an agreement for the revision of labor law is "perfectly possible", indicating that all parties want this reform. The official noted that the previously rejected proposal is not the only possible avenue to achieve this goal.

Duarte acknowledges, however, the difficulties in the negotiation process, admitting that "we hit concrete walls when discussing sensitive, politicized and ideological things". The CCP leader suggests there are other paths to explore beyond the ideological debate that has dominated the discussions.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by any changes to labor legislation, which may impact their working conditions. This article comes after a rejected proposal and indicates there is openness for negotiation, which may represent a relevant development for workers and employers seeking consensus on this matter.

The author concludes that the minister is "on the way" to a long-awaited change, but historical recognition will depend on the ability to transform reforms into lasting results for students.
