The full story

The Sindicato dos Trabalhadores de Espetáculos, Audiovisual e Músicos (CENA-STE) has announced a three-day strike at the Casa da Música foundation in Porto, scheduled from November 12 to 14, 2026. The union states that the administration failed to fully implement agreements reached during negotiations that concluded in July 2026. Protesters are demanding the recognition of worker seniority through a structured progression plan starting in 2027, as well as salary adjustments for specific career tiers and the removal of the lowest pay category. The union argues these measures are financially feasible within the foundation's budget. The strike will involve a total work stoppage, with workers permitted to picket at the facility. No minimum services have been declared, as the union asserts there are no urgent or essential services during this period.
