Overview
- Rodalies reported on Tuesday morning that legally required minimum service levels were not being met and Renfe said up to 60% of scheduled runs had been canceled by 06:30.
- SEMAF is the only union that called strikes for Tuesday and Thursday and joined the general strike on Wednesday while arguing Rodalies broke safety pacts reached after the Gelida accident.
- A core grievance is the voiding of an agreement that let some drivers avoid clocking in at Sants, which now requires all drivers to start their shifts at that station.
- The Departament de Territori activated roughly 60 supplemental buses on main interurban lines because minima were unmet and said it will demand Renfe open disciplinary proceedings for regulatory breaches by drivers.
- Authorities set minimum services at 66% for peak hours until 09:30 and 33% for the rest of the day, and continued disruption risks further mobility chaos for commuters on the strike days ahead.
