| Abstract
This electronic paper aims to draw attention to the main specificities and trends in the termination of the labour relations in Portugal (with special emphasis on collective dismissal) against a backdrop of instability that calls for austerity, restrictions and cuts with direct impact on businesses and workers.
In light of the historical evolution, breadth and complexity of this topic, we strive to highlight the current requirements of Portuguese law.
The great challenge of today is to find a balance between the needs organisations encounter to respond to market pressures and customer demands, without overlooking the needs of workers.
