Semaf

SEMAF is a prominent train drivers' union in Spain. Recent news highlights their involvement in two key areas: negotiations regarding train schedules and safety concerns leading to strike action. SEMAF, along with other unions, recently approved new schedules for the Rodalies rail network, a crucial step towards restoring full service on the R4 line. Simultaneously, SEMAF has called for a three-day nationwide strike due to concerns over rail safety following two fatal train crashes in January. These crashes, which resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries, prompted the union to demand stronger safety guarantees for both rail workers and passengers. The strike underscores SEMAF's commitment to advocating for improved safety measures within Spain's railway system and highlights the ongoing turmoil and scrutiny surrounding the country's rail infrastructure.
