The first stoppage will take place from 6:45 to 8:45 a.m., during the morning rush hour, so passengers may experience disruptions on their way to work or educational centers.
The stoppages will be spread across three time slots: 6:45 to 8:45 a.m., 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and 4:45 to 6:45 p.m. The final day, scheduled for November 30, will include stoppages in all three periods.

One of the main points of contention is the length of shifts and their relationship to worker fatigue and safety. Management has proposed that shifts of up to eight and a half hours be worked by volunteers or, if there are none, by the youngest employees, a proposal that has failed to convince union representatives.
The latest meeting held at the Aragonese Mediation and Arbitration Service (SAMA) ended without progress.
