Railway unions have called for a 24-hour strike scheduled for February 9-11 due to ongoing safety concerns following accidents in Adamuz and Gelida. They are anticipating a new meeting with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to negotiate an agreement that could lead to the strike being called off. The unions reported that Transport has been open to dialogue and are waiting to hear about any developments regarding the negotiations.

During their last meeting with the ministry, no concrete measures to address their safety concerns were established, although the unions noted that the conversation was more focused than in previous discussions. This suggests a slight shift in how the ministry is approaching the urgent safety issues that have prompted the strike. The unions represent all staff within the railway sector, from operations to maintenance, indicating that the impact of the strike could be significant across the network.

As the situation unfolds, the uncertainty surrounding whether a new meeting will take place adds to the tension within the sector. If the strike proceeds, it could disrupt services, highlighting the ongoing challenges within Spain's railway safety regulations and operational practices. The outcomes of these negotiations will not only affect train services but also the dialogue regarding worker safety and the structural integrity of the railway system in Spain.
