Union is demanding better safety standards for workers and passengers after two collisions this week killed 44

Spain’s largest train drivers’ union has called a three-day nationwide strike to demand measures to guarantee the safety of rail workers and passengers after two deadly crashes this week killed at least 44 people, including two drivers.

At least 43 people died and dozens more were injured after two trains collided on Sunday near the town of Adamuz, in the Córdoba province in Andalucía. Two days later, a driver was killed and 37 people were injured when a train was derailed by the collapse of a retaining wall near Gelida in Catalonia.
