Spain: Unionized rail workers to hold nationwide strike July 4 and 6
Unionized rail workers to hold strike in Spain July 4 and 6. Rail service disruptions likely.
Event
Unionized workers with state-owned railway infrastructure administrator ADIF have called for a 24-hour strike July 4 and 6 to protest working conditions. The level of participation in the strike is unclear but the action will likely cause some disruptions, particularly to Renfe-operated rail services; ADIF is responsible for the maintenance of rail infrastructure.
Striking workers may also demonstrate at transport hubs, such as major railway stations, during the work stoppage. Lingering rail disruptions are possible after the strikes complete, as services return to normal.
Advice
Confirm all rail bookings and train times during the affected period. Allow extra time for travel. Avoid potential protests as a routine security precaution.
