The mobilization, affecting commuter and regional services, will take place next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Unions keep negotiations open with the Ministry of Transport, but require substantial progress to call off the strike.
The call for action follows recent fatal train accidents in Adamuz (Córdoba) and Gelida (Alt Penedès), as well as two weeks of railway chaos suffered by the Rodalies service in Catalonia.
Train drivers demand a structural and real change in the adoption of safety measures and also in the maintenance of the railway system.
The Department of Business and Labor has already established minimum services. For commuter and regional trains, these will be 66% during peak hours and 33% during off-peak hours. For the rest of Spain, minimum services will be 75% during peak hours for Cercanías and 73% for High Speed and long distance.
