"The UGT unions, Sinafe [National Union of Movement and Related Railway Workers] and Sintap [Union of Public Administration Workers], are moving towards a strike in view of the interruption of negotiations at CP and IP", they said in a statement.

CP workers will go on strike for the provision of "any and all work under the following terms", on February 27 and March 1, "during their entire working period".

The unions indicate that the strike is for increased of wage values and purchasing power, for the resumption of collective bargaining and for "non-discrimination of workers" and hiring of personnel.
