On Wednesday, members of the largest public sector union in Portugal are expected to walk off the job for 24 hours. This strike is expected to include as many as 600,000 employees and could disrupt courts, schools, and hospitals. Recently the government approved the change from a 40 hour work week to a 35 hour one for civil servants. However, workers are still seeking a quicker roll-back of austerity measures.
