Semaf postpones today's train drivers' strike to November 23 and Renfe expects normal service

The Semaf union has moved to November 23 the second day of strike action at Renfe planned for this Thursday 12, and Renfe says service will run on its usual timetable.

Corroborated by independent sources Certainty high

The train drivers' union Semaf has rescheduled the second day of strike action it had called at Renfe, Spain's state rail operator, for this Thursday, November 12, moving it to the 23rd, according to El Español.

Renfe has officially announced that this Thursday's strike is called off and that rail service will run normally, on its usual timetable, according to Salamanca al Día.

According to El Español, the union justifies the postponement as giving room for pending agreements to be approved next week, after the Council of Ministers on Tuesday approved an urgent royal decree-law to strengthen operational safety in rail transport. Semaf is, however, keeping the strike called for November 17 across the whole sector.

The first day of the walkout, on November 10, left 55.38 % of minimum services without departing and affected some 653,000 passengers, according to Renfe figures cited by the same outlet. The union and the company disagree over whether those minimum services were met.

This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
