Madrid’s metro workers have voted to strike on January 4th and 5th, coinciding with the popular Three Kings parade. However, trains will run at 90% of their regular frequency on the lines that coincide with the procession route.
Starting on January 17th, the metro workers will begin an indefinite strike during morning and evening rush hours. The Metro de Madrid employees are protesting against the elimination of their bonus and a breach of the collective bargaining agreement after failing to get pay rises in 2011 and 2012.
