"This is the time to increase our capacity for action," said CGTP-IN Secretary General Arménio Carlos at the opening of the national meeting of trade union leaders and activists in Lisbon.

This demonstration, called for in a resolution that is due to be approved at the end of the national meeting, is to demand an increase in workers' salaries by setting the minimum wage at €650 per month, as of 1 January next year, and against the labour law.
