Rail Workers Call 24-Hour National Strike at Renfe for 29 June and 15 July (opens in new tab)

Spanish rail union Sindicato Ferroviario has called 24-hour nationwide strikes at Renfe on 29 June and 15 July over alleged breaches of a 2023 labour accord and fears for jobs at Renfe Mercancías. The action, timed for Spain’s peak holiday getaways, threatens large-scale cancellations of high-speed, regional and commuter trains, with knock-on effects for OUIGO, Iryo and freight corridors. Businesses should prepare alternative travel and logistics plans.
