New plot twist in the conflict between the workers of Servei Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) and the management of the public company. Four days after signing the first part of the agreement to call off the protestsThe works council has warned of this: "We demand that, sometime this week, management urgently convene the works council to formally present a proposal, or we will have no other option but to reactivate the strikes."

Workers at Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) have agreed to call partial strikes to demand improvements in the safety of the island's rail network. The decision was made at a meeting held today at midday following the fatal accidents in Adamuz (Córdoba) and Gelida (Barcelona), according to the SFM works council. The approximately 70 workers, out of a total of 190, who participated in the meeting expressed their overwhelming support for the call for partial strikes. Only four votes were cast against. The works council will meet on Wednesday to finalize the details of the protests, which will begin with low-intensity actions to minimize disruption to passengers. The sources consulted indicated that it would be desirable for an agreement to be reached with the Government to implement the demanded safety improvements before these partial strikes could take place (which could begin ten days after the ballot was registered with the Tamib). The assembly, despite the willingness to reach an agreement with the public company, was "phlegmatic" and served as a platform for workers to outline the problems identified in each of SFM's areas. Shortly before the meeting, the president of the works council, Ricardo Más, had already assumed that the workers would demand the calling of the partial strikes. "After so long being ignored, the only thing left for us is collective action," he emphasized. "If the company doesn't want this to affect users, we must sit down and talk about safety improvements," he added.

The lack of reliable and immediate information is once again causing discontent among train users in the Balearic Islands. The Train Users Association issued a new statement today criticizing the "silence and disregard for information" of Servicios Ferroviarios de Mallorca (SFM) when service incidents occur.

The journey to the Much de Sineu train station became a stifling experience for many travelers this Monday. Both partygoers and regular train users experienced the overcrowding of a public transport system that this summer not only reduced special services for this neo-party, but the usual service frequencies are considerably reduced, and they have weekend schedules (with exceptions). The situation has led to complaints about overcrowding and heat, with crowded platforms and passengers almost rushing in.

Mallorca Railway Services (SFM) has modified its scheduled service schedules for this August due to construction work on the Carrer del Greco overpass near Verge de Lluc station. The new schedules will be in effect from this Tuesday until Sunday, August 17, at the end of next week.
