DThe teachers are staying at the school gates this morning. Blue flags and red banners are raised on the street in front of Camões High School. Some of her students are watching her from a small park opposite. You are fired due to a strike.
“We won’t stop,” the teachers shout, their posters saying “Respect” in large letters, and underneath it, “No to Precariat.” Fenprof, the largest teachers’ union, organized a small rally in the center of Lisbon with military precision.
The labor dispute has been going on since December. Teachers want the state to stop ignoring them in order to finally hire them properly and give them opportunities for promotion. On this day, they are not the only ones on strike. Also, many commuter and commuter trains do not run, and railroad workers demand higher wages.
