Thousands Walk Out Over Pay and Working Conditions Dispute
Thousands of Airbus employees in Spain have begun an indefinite strike after rejecting a company proposal on pay and working conditions. The strike, which started on August 25, 2026, covers full 24-hour periods and has no scheduled end date. Workers at Airbus facilities across Spain voted not to postpone the strike while negotiations continued. The dispute covers wages, remote work, holiday scheduling, and other issues. Airbus has not confirmed the participation figure or disclosed whether aircraft or component output has been affected. The strike was first reported by AeroTime.
