The Railway Circulation Union calls eight 24-hour strikes in Adif for the month of July

MADRID, 22 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Railway Circulation Union (SCF) has called eight 24-hour strikes in Adif for the days 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 27 of July, to protest the lack of personnel and breaches of the collective agreement, which expires at the end of this year.

SCF has explained in a press release that the dates selected for these stoppages avoid the beginning and end of fortnightly periods, as well as weekends, with the aim of affecting railway users "as little as possible".

Among the reasons that have led the union to call these days of strike are the lack of personnel and the merger of regulation gangs in charge of the same agent, "with the consequent danger it poses for the safety of train circulation." .

"The workers of Adif and Adif Alta Velocidad are affected by endless breaches by the public entity, which has not respected the clauses of its collective agreement," denounces the union.

Thus, SCF has criticized the "systematic violations" of the service graphs "which is leading to an indiscriminate closure of units and the reduction of service personnel in those work centers where more than one worker per shift works, with the consequent loss of jobs.
