Metro Bilbao train drivers have called for a nine-day stoppage from July 30 to August 22
On 30 July and 6, 11 and 13 August from 12:30 to 16:30 and on 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 August from 21:00 to 01:00.
The Union of Train Drivers of Spain T (SEMAF) has called on the Metro Bilbao train drivers to make nine days of stoppages between 30 July and 22 August to professionalize the collective in order to demand that their responsibilities and risks in the workplace be included in the agreement.
The call, which will mobilize the more than 200 train drivers who make up the Metro Bilbao workforce, aims to call for measures to "recognize the driver as the group with the greatest responsibility, the greatest risk and the greatest difficulty in enjoying social and labour rights".
The train drivers report that after 14 negotiating meetings , the management of Metro Bilbao does not believe that the agreement should include "measures to reconcile family and working life, reduce shifts, recognise productivity and ensure rest periods, among others".

The Directorate does not believe that measures to reconcile family and working life, reduce shifts, recognise productivity and ensure rest periods should be included in the Convention.
The union has stated that Metro Bilbao "does not want to include measures that guarantee an employment plan to ensure the expansion and renewal of the workforce of train drivers".
This, SEMAF points out, "is absolutely necessary in order to be able to maintain the service normally and to guarantee all the social rights provided for in the current legislation, as well as to comply with the provisions of the labour law, in order to facilitate retirement in accordance with the restrictive coefficient established for the category of employment".
This creates "unfair situations among the Metro Bilbao collectives, because some have better conditions to the detriment of drivers", they warn.
The stops will take place on 30 July and 6, 11 and 13 August , from 12:30 to 16:30, and on 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 August, from 21:00 to 01:00.
