The unions call off the strike in Renfe and Adif after reaching an agreement with the Government

They assure that they have achieved all their demands

MADRID, 23 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The unions that are part of the works councils of Renfe and Adif have called off the strike that was scheduled to begin this Friday and also last on November 30 and December 1, 4 and 5, as reported to Europa Press in union sources.

This has been decided by UGT, CC.OO., CGT, SF and SCF after reaching an agreement with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, in which Óscar Puente has just made his debut as minister.

The Ministry headed by the former mayor of Valladolid would have worked hard in negotiations with the unions with the aim of avoiding a strike that would affect thousands of travelers and that would have forced the cancellation of 1,548 trains.

For their part, the unions defend having achieved all their demands, mainly "the guarantee of integrity" of the public companies Renfe and Adif, the maintenance of the workforce and that the operation will continue to be carried out in both Renfe Mercancías and Rodalies.

At 7:25 p.m., the signature of the agreement remained to be stamped, waiting for the Ministry to present the documentation to the unions. Subsequently, they will register the strike call.

The call arose as a result of the agreement reached between PSOE and ERC for the comprehensive transfer to the Generalitat of Catalonia of the Rodalies (Cercanías) trains, due to fear of the possible fragmentation of these two companies, which would impact the rights of the passengers. workers.

The president of the Generalitat himself, Pere Aragonès, has stated that "there are no reasons for the preventive strike", assuring that the rights of workers "will be fully guaranteed" with the transfer of powers.
