USAM joins national demonstration on October 17th called by CGTP-IN

The Union of Unions of Madeira (USAM) has announced its participation in the national demonstration promoted by CGTP-IN on October 17th, under the slogan 'Let's continue the fight'. The union structure calls for the involvement of Madeiran workers in this initiative.

The main demands highlighted in this event include wages, working conditions, access to housing, career development, collective bargaining, and the quality of public services. USAM emphasizes the rising cost of living and insufficient wages as factors affecting many workers and their families.

In Madeira, USAM also points to the worsening inequalities, considering that regional economic growth has not translated into a proportional improvement in the living conditions of the majority of the population. The organization advocates for secure employment, decent wages, and the strengthening of labor rights, demanding policies that prioritize workers and their families.
