Union STAL is organising a national protest to demand urgent action on low pay, precarious employment, and poor working conditions in local government and municipal companies. The mobilisation follows a national plenary of 500 delegates, activists, and union leaders, who gathered to assess the political and workplace challenges facing the sector. Key concerns include stagnating wages, lack of decent working conditions, job insecurity, and restrictions on trade union rights. STAL warns that the worsening political climate poses a threat to workers’ rights and public services. The union is calling for renewed and intensified mobilisation to push back against these developments and to demand investment in local and municipal company jobs.
