This new service, effective from 2 November 2007 from Portugal to Brazil, allows the electronic remittance up to EUR 2,500 within 48h using the EUROGIRO network, with a high level of security and swiftness as well as competitive prices.

Portuguese postal workers begin two-day strike

Posted by | Dec 9, 2004 | |

Thousands of Portuguese postal workers began a two-day strike Thursday over job cuts and government plans to privatize some service offered by state postal firm CTT.

“There is going to be a significant delay in the delivery of mail,” the secretary-general of postal workers’ union SNTCT, Victor Narciso, told AFP.

He said roughly 50 percent of the 10,000 workers represented by the union were taking part in the strike.
