LISBON, May 19 (Reuters) - Portugal's cabin crew union SNPVAC said its members voted on Tuesday to join a June 3 nationwide strike, affecting flights of TAP, Ryanair RYA.I and EasyJet EZJ.L, a spokesperson said.

   The general strike was called by Portugal's largest umbrella union CGTP in protest against the government's ongoing labour reform.

   SNPVAC said it could not remain indifferent to what it described as an "unprecedented attack on established rights and fundamental principles" by the government.
