The public transport company Horários do Funchal announced potential disruptions due to a worker assembly organized by the Road and Metallurgical Workers Union of Madeira.

The public transportation system in Funchal, operated by Horários do Funchal, faces potential disruptions as the company announced a worker assembly scheduled for tomorrow morning. This assembly is organized by the Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Rodoviários e Actividades Metalúrgicas da Região Autónoma da Madeira.

This development follows a similar meeting held last week, which was convened by a different union. The company has alerted residents and tourists alike that the assembly could impact bus schedules during the morning hours.

The Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Rodoviários e Actividades Metalúrgicas, which represents the interests of road and metallurgical workers in Madeira, has called the meeting to address ongoing issues within the transportation sector.

For residents and tourists on Madeira Island, this means planning alternative travel arrangements during the affected hours or expecting delays in their commutes. Local authorities are working closely with the union and the company to minimize disruption and ensure public safety.
