Widespread disruption hit Portuguese air travel and trains, hospitals, and schools as the unions called the biggest nationwide strike action for more than a decade, protesting against a draft law aiming to simplify firing procedures, extend the length of fixed-term contracts, and expand the minimum services required during a strike.
