The decision was made following the fourth meeting between the parties, held on Monday, concluding negotiations that had been ongoing since last week. Three previous bilateral meetings had failed to reach a consensus.
Sources from the Ministry of Transport confirmed the news, stating they "fully subscribe to the declarations of the workers' representatives to validate this important agreement." The unions described the pact as historic, detailing "improvements in investment, maintenance, and personnel."
The Ministry of Transport recognizes the willingness to dialogue maintained especially by the unions during the negotiation and we congratulate ourselves on the capacity for agreement and consensus always for the benefit of our railway system.
The Ministry of Transport praised the outcome, recognizing the unions' willingness to dialogue. The general committees of Renfe and Adif must now ratify the agreement for the cancellation to become fully effective, as explained by Diego Martín, general secretary of Semaf, on behalf of the three unions.
