The first hours of the strike in Renfe and Adif are passing normally and the monitoring rates that both public companies put at 2.6% and 4.8%, respectively, while CCOO raises them to close to 75%, without any have recorded relevant incidents.
On the occasion of the strike called for this Friday by CCOO in Renfe and Adif, to which the Railway Circulation Union (SCF) was added in the latter, the operator has encrypted the monitoring of the strike in the night shifts (mainly personnel maintenance) and tomorrow, from 00:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., at 2.68% and indicates that it has been seconded by 133 workers.
Renfe has assured EFE that the service is being provided normally, beyond the trains that have had to be canceled due to the strike called, and that the minimum services decreed by the Ministry of Transport are being met.
In Valencia, the strike is developing normally and without incident, and minimum services are being met. Today, 22 of the usual 30 trains circulate on the Madrid-València AVE, and on the Intercity and Euromed València-Barcelona Long Distance trains there are 19 circulations out of a total of 27.
Company sources have added that there is no evidence of significant incidents and that the two that have been registered online this morning are unrelated to the strike. One of them between Navalmoral de la Mata and Oropesa (Madrid-Cáceres line) due to an incident in the infrastructure caused by adverse weather, which has already been resolved, and another on the Madrid-Seville high-speed line, between Majarabique and Hornachuelos. .
For their part, Adif has indicated that the monitoring of the strike on the night shift has been 4.8% and that no incidents have been recorded either.
From CCOO they point out that in these first hours the strike has had a follow-up of around 75% in both companies and they plan for this noon to take stock of it in the concentration that they will stage in Atocha.
The 23-hour strike called by the union has forced the public railway operator to cancel the circulation of 310 trains, 89 high-speed and long-distance, and 221 medium-distance.
The strike has been called by CCOO in both Renfe and Adif, where the Railway Circulation Union (SCF) has also joined the protest, to demand the unblocking of the agreements agreed with both companies.
In the case of Adif, it is an agreement to implement a 35-hour work week that was already negotiated between the General Business Committee and the company and, in that of Renfe, one on income categories.
The Ministry of Transport has set minimum services of 75% on Cercanías during rush hour and 50% during the rest of the day. In medium distance, it has set services of 65%, while in high speed and long distance they rise to 73% of the total scheduled.
For freight trains, the Ministry has established minimum services of 25% and in the case of the Rodalies de Catalunya, the Generalitat has established essential services of 66% at rush hour and 33% during the rest of the day.
For affected travelers, Renfe will offer, whenever possible, to travel on another train at the time closest to the one purchased and, in the event that they do not wish to make the trip, it allows the ticket to be canceled or changed to another date at no additional cost.
