Overview
- SEMAF announced on Thursday that it has desconvocado the strike days set for 6 and 9 November and 4 and 8 December after reaching a deal with Ouigo.
- Ouigo told customers that trains scheduled for the affected dates will run as planned, removing the risk of the mass cancellations seen earlier.
- The union told EFE the agreement covers the full set of its salary and workplace demands, though the parties have not published the contract terms.
- Earlier stoppages forced Ouigo to cancel all services on 30 October and the following Monday, affecting about 40 trains and nearly 20,000 travellers, which helped push talks forward.
- SEMAF had targeted six days of action to coincide with November and December puentes to maximise leverage, a tactic that highlights how organised driver unions can disrupt low‑cost high‑speed services during peak travel periods.
