STAFF at aircraft manufacturer Airbus in Spain will begin an indefinite strike on Monday over demands for higher wages in response to soaring inflation, unions said today.

“The protest will start on October 31 and will end as soon as management is prepared to guarantee that workers do not lose purchasing power,” the three unions CCOO, UGT-FICA and ATP-SAe said in a statement.

They demanded a “fair salary increase” that recognises workers’ efforts in recent years, and recalled that the European aircraft maker posted a record profit last year.

The strike announcement comes after Airbus on Monday announced a one-off payment of €1,500 (RM7,072.43) for all employees in UK, France, Germany and Spain.

At the end of last year, Airbus employed more than 126,000 people worldwide, including 12,000 in Spain at eight sites in the regions of Andalusia, Castilla La Mancha and Madrid.

Like other countries across Europe, Spain has been struggling with soaring inflation as a result of the fallout from the war in Ukraine and the reopening of the economy after pandemic-related lockdowns.

The country’s inflation rate stood at 8.9% last month, easing from 10.5% in August as energy prices fell. – AFP, October 27, 2022.

  • I'm super excited guys, my name is Sonia from Los Angeles, California, I tried getting a car loan sometime last year but my credit score of about 521 ruined the process. Since I was in desperate need of a car due to the nature of my new job, I resorted to making online research on how I could restore my credit to a minimum of 650 to enable me to qualify, after a few months of searching, I bumped into a blog and found positive reviews about HACK VANISH CREDIT SPECIALIST, So I reached out to them to explain my credit situation, they requested my info and necessary details and were able to get every derogatory item on my report erased and increased my FICO score to 788 within 6 days, I was amazed. They are fast and reliable. Anyone looking for a credit solution below is their contact details:
