Doctors from FNAM join the general public sector strike on the 20th and demand a salary increase

The National Federation of Doctors (FNAM) announced its participation in the public administration strike on November 20, demanding better labor rights and increased salaries. The strike, supported by medical unions from various regions, aims to address the degradation of public health services and the need for collective bargaining. FNAM is calling for a 15% salary increase, the repeal of the current performance evaluation system, and better career recognition. The strike will occur from midnight to midnight on November 20, with essential health services maintained. The Portuguese Nurses Union has also joined the strike, advocating for salary increases to restore purchasing power. The strike was organized by the Common Front, reflecting widespread discontent with public service conditions.
