Railway Strike

The first day of a planned three-day strike in the railway sector, called by several unions, paralyzes hundreds of trains and affects more than 34,000 workers throughout Spain. The strike focuses on demands for greater safety, less precarious employment in the sector, and increased investment, but it is called off this afternoon after several meetings between railway workers and the Ministry of Transport.
