Spain - Multiple railway strikes - December 31, 2018

Trade union CCOO has called a two-day Railway strike in Renfe and Adif for December 21 and January 7, at the beginning and end of the Christmas holidays. The union called out the strike to protest job cuts and furthermore demands multi-year plan of human resources that allows the renovation, rejuvenation and gender balance in the jobs of both public companies, where women represent only 13% of the staff. This call for strike is not the only strike at the rail. Train inspectors will also go on a one-day strike and partial stoppages of the Adif railway controllers have been announced by the Syndicate of Railway Circulation (SCF) over a lack of personnel.
