Worker Meeting Details

On Wednesday, workers from the Lisbon Metro gathered for a plenary session starting at 11:00 AM. According to a statement from the Federation of Transport and Communications Workers' Unions (FECTRANS), the assembly focused on analyzing safety developments since the derailment incident that occurred on May 24 of the previous year.
