Airport strikes in Portugal February 1-4
I see an article in the Presstur (I can only read parts of it since I don't know Portuguese but get the general jist since I speak French and understand some Spanish and Italian) that says Groundforce is going on strike in LIS?

Does anyone have more information about this? I hear that the PTs are kinda like the French when striking. So if I'm booked on TP to do LHRLIS on the 4th, should I begin looking for alternative arrangements? And if so, I would suppose LX via ZRH since they use Portway? Or would it be pointless since Portway would be affected by Groundforce's actions?

Groundforce strike
Yes, the strike is confirmed for those days. Usually not everybody adheres to the strike, but expect delays, and of course flight cancelations. TP is a good airline to fly, but when there are cancelations or delays they are not very good in supplying information to pax.
It is better for you to have an alternative. Companies handled by Portway usually are not affected by other handling companies strikes.
My advice is to have alternatives for these days
