Post & Logistics affiliates SNTCT and SINTTAV are continuing their struggle for their justified demands to be met in negotiations for their collective contract with Portuguese Postal company, CTT Correios. This struggle has been going on for many months now and SNTCT is now in another 4 day strike to try and get their demands met and CTT Correios back to the bargaining table. The union has now taken strike action over more than 13 days and also carried out a hunger strike to support their justified claims. CTT Correios have also been making demands on the union that have made it extremely difficult for the union to continue it's day to day activities, such as insisting that union officials who are employed by CTT Correios are at their workplaces all the time instead of having the traditional time off to carry out their union activities that they have previously been entitled to under the "allegedly" now expired collective agreement.



SNTCT's members are now on strike from 2-5 December furthering their demands that CTT Correios immediately returns to the bargaining table and make a meaningful offer to settle the collective contract negotiations without taking away many of the previous conditions which make up SNTCT's justified demands. UNI Post & Logistics has sent a message of support to SNTCT saying that it is time CTT Correios recognised it's responsibilities to the workers and negotiates in good faith to try and find a resolution to this bitter dispute. Further UNI demands that CTT Correios stops its tactic of harassing the union and restores the right of Portugal Post workers who are officials of SNTCT to be able to carry out their union duties.
