Rail unions in Spain announced a series of strikes in March and April due to disagreements with the government regarding passenger and goods transport.

The General Works Committee (CGE), which includes the unions SEMAF, CCOO, UGT, CGT, and SF, has called for seven days of strike action.

According to local media, the strikes will occur on 17, 19, 24, 26, and 28 March and 1 and 3 April.

All-day strikes are expected on 17 and 26 March and 1 April, while the strikes on 19, 24, and 28 March and 3 April will be on a smaller scale.

The Renfe and Adif unions called on all its members to participate in the labour action.

The strike is expected to impact both cargo and passenger rail.
