Airbus strike in Spain enters critical phase as government considers mediation
The indefinite strike at Airbus plants in Spain has reached a critical impasse, prompting the Spanish government to consider formal mediation. While the company has proposed a salary increase to recover 7.6% of purchasing power linked to real CPI, negotiations have stalled.
Airbus recently closed a mediation table at the Interconfederal Service of Mediation and Arbitration (SIMA) because several striking unions, including UGT, CGT, and ÚTIL, refused to participate. The company has conditioned further dialogue on the suspension of the strikes. Meanwhile, workers in major centers such as Getafe, San Pablo, and Tablada have voted overwhelmingly to maintain the industrial action.
The conflict is causing significant concern for the broader aerospace sector. In Andalusia, officials have warned that the strike is already impacting the economic stability of approximately 150 auxiliary companies that support the industry. The Spanish Ministry of Industry has emphasized the strategic importance of the sector, noting that the stability of the aerospace industry is vital for the country's long-term economic prospects.
