The looming **Spain railway strike** follows the failure of the third scheduled meeting between the [Ministry of Transport and Mobility](https://www.transportes.gob.es/?ref=barna.news) and the country’s major railway trade unions: [SEMAF](https://www.semaf.org/?ref=barna.news), [UGT](https://www.ugt.es/?ref=barna.news), and [CCOO](https://www.ccoo.es/?ref=barna.news). Despite hopes that a resolution could be found before the weekend, the talks concluded on Friday without a breakthrough. However, government representatives emphasised their intention to keep dialogue open to avert the stoppages.

## Major operators affected by the Spain railway strike

Unlike some previous industrial disputes limited to the state operator, this **Spain railway strike** is set to have a broader impact on the liberalised Spanish rail market. Therefore, the industrial action is expected to affect services across [**Renfe**](https://www.renfe.com/es/en?ref=barna.news), as well as the private high-speed competitors [**Ouigo**](https://www.ouigo.com/es/?ref=barna.news) and [**Iryo**](https://iryo.eu/en/?ref=barna.news).

With the strike set for Monday, passengers booked on high-speed and conventional lines are advised to check with their operators for cancellations and [minimum service announcements](https://www.renfe.com/es/es/servicios/info-viajeros/avisos/servicios-minimos?ref=barna.news) over the weekend.
