Sitava, the Union of Aviation and Airport Workers, is considering legal action to challenge the airport handling tender won by the Clece/South consortium, aiming to protect workers' interests. The union criticises the lack of provisions for the transfer of staff and existing company agreements, labelling the process as ideologically driven and potentially damaging to airport operations. Meanwhile, Menzies has already filed an injunction in the Lisbon Administrative and Tax Court, citing concerns over the tender's structure, operational requirements, and the lack of a robust transition framework for employees.
