The machinists believe they have made more progress with Cuerpo in 24 hours than with Puente in six months

Railway machinists are maintaining strikes next week despite feeling progress with the new Transport Minister, Carlos Cuerpo. The Semaf union claims they have made more advancements in 24 hours with Cuerpo than in six months with the previous minister, Óscar Puente. During a cordial meeting, Cuerpo's team presented commitments regarding safety improvements, including better weather alert protocols and addressing ongoing risks reported by train professionals. While Semaf acknowledges the new minister's willingness to progress, they remain cautious about the feasibility of meeting their demands due to budget constraints. The union plans to review the proposals but warns that without substantial commitments, further mobilizations may occur.
