Portugal braces for first general strike in 12 years as unions unite against labour reforms
Portugal is preparing for widespread disruption on Thursday, as tens of thousands of workers join the country’s first general strike in more than a decade.
They’re protesting against the government’s planned labour reforms.
Trade unions say the changes will undermine workers’ rights.
