Negotiations between the Lusa Board of Directors and labor unions regarding salary increases and contract revisions have ended without a deal. Unions representing journalists and service workers accused the administration of intransigence, stating they will now seek formal conciliation through the Ministry of Labour.

Context & Explainers

The government is amending the statutes of Lusa, Portugal's national news agency, to make the organization more professional and less influenced by political shifts. It is the primary source for breaking news and official reports, providing content to media outlets across the country. Those following local news should note that Lusa is often the first to report on government announcements and legislative changes.
