Airbus Spain workers resume an indefinite strike
Thousands of Airbus workers in Spain resumed strike action this week after rejecting the company's latest pay offer, unions said August 26, describing Tuesday's stoppage as the start of an indefinite strike after 22 days of industrial action in July. Unions said about 90% of eligible workers took part; French unions briefed on the dispute said the three striking Spanish unions represent about 40% of Airbus Spain's roughly 14,000 employees, a participation figure Reuters could not independently confirm. Airbus is targeting 870 commercial deliveries in 2026 and has frozen planned hiring in Spain for the duration of the strike; unions said production has already slowed, while Airbus said last week that disruption to administrative and support functions had not yet affected production.
