CCP President states that labor reform is possible with measures that "truly matter"

Now13 September 2026 at 12:18

The president of the Confederation of Commerce and Services of Portugal (CCP) stated that labor reform is possible, but only with measures that "truly matter" to workers and the sector. His intervention arose in the context of a debate on the labor reform proposals under discussion.

According to the CCP leader, the labor reform presented by the Government would not solve the specific problems of the transport sector, which was pointed out as a concrete example of the limitations of that proposal.

The Confederation of Commerce and Services of Portugal represents a significant number of companies in the commerce and services sector in Portugal, being one of the main employer organizations in the country.

This position of the CCP is part of a broader debate on the need for labor reforms in Portugal, where different organizations have presented different positions on which measures would be most effective for the labor market.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal working in the commerce, services, and transport sectors are directly affected by this labor reform. The CCP's position, as an organization representing employers in these areas, may influence the final outcome of negotiations and the working conditions that will eventually be implemented.
