Maquinistas y ferroviarios se quejan de ser señalados: “Un error humano se produce cuando no tienes lo necesario para trabajar”

On Wednesday, a high-speed train collision near Urda in Toledo, Spain, reignited concerns over the treatment of train conductors and railway workers. The incident occurred when two trains collided, leaving two conductors and an apprentice missing, according to the latest reports. This tragedy follows the deaths of two train conductors within the past nine months, one of whom died in an accident in Adamuz, Córdoba, and another in Gelida, Barcelona.

The recurring disasters have heightened the frustration of the union, which represents approximately 6,000 professionals, who argue that they are blamed for accidents before the investigations are completed.
