Airbus workers vote to suspend Spanish strike
Overview
Following a 35-day indefinite strike at Airbus facilities in Spain, workers at plants in Cádiz, Tablada (Sevilla), and Illescas (Toledo) have voted to suspend the industrial action. This decision follows a mediated pre-agreement between Airbus and several unions, including ATP, CCOO, SIPA, and UGT.
The proposed deal aims to recover purchasing power by paying the real Consumer Price Index (IPC), with a 7.95% increase to be distributed proportionally through 2029. The agreement also maintains current teleworking arrangements and addresses employee mobility, dining services, and work flexibility. Minister of Industry and Tourism Jordi Hereu described the consensus as ‘magnificent’ for both workers and industrial competitiveness.
Despite the vote to suspend the strike, internal friction persists. The UGT union has expressed ‘absolute rejection’ of the terms, accusing management of an ‘attempt at manipulation’ and clarifying that they have not signed any formal agreement. The CGT and ÚTIL unions, which were part of the original strike committee, were not included in these final negotiations. The final proposal remains subject to a binding referendum among all Spanish employees scheduled for later this month.
