Failure to communicate leads to rail strikes

THE trade unions UGT and CCOO have called eight strike days affecting the Ferrocarril de Soller Tram in May and June.

The planned strikes are to highlight the issues arising from the implementation of the new company collective bargaining agreement, which the union claims could affect 100 employees.

The unions have called for the strikes to be held between 9am and 5pm on Monday May 4, 11, 18 and 25, and again on June 4, 9, 18 and 23 for the whole day.

“In the meetings that we have held, they have not wanted to accept any of the claims our committee have given them to improve conditions for the workers,” the unions said.

The UGT and CCOO apologised to the users of the Soller service for any inconvenience that this may cause.
