The machinists postpone the protest next Thursday to November 23 due to the progress made with the Corps

The Spanish Union of Train Drivers and Assistants (Semaf) has postponed its second strike planned for November 12 to November 23, providing temporary relief for train users. The first strike occurred today, with Renfe reporting uneven adherence to minimum service levels, particularly affecting commuter services in Madrid and Barcelona. Semaf aims to allow time for negotiations to finalize pending agreements. The union celebrated the government's approval of a Royal Decree-law aimed at enhancing railway safety and social protection for workers, which will take effect upon publication. New measures include improved monitoring of driving times and enhanced oversight by the Spanish Railway Safety Agency. Despite this, the union plans to maintain pressure with a strike on November 17 across the sector.
