Airbus reached a preliminary deal with four major unions in Spain. The agreement potentially ends a labor dispute that caused weeks of strikes across the planemaker's Spanish factories. Spain's Industry Minister, Jordi Hereu, announced the agreement following government-mediated talks.
The industrial action began after negotiations over pay and working conditions failed. It impacted several key production sites. These facilities manufacture components for commercial and military aircraft. Prolonged stoppages threatened to disrupt the wider production chain. The workforce will now vote on the new proposal in a binding referendum.
