Employees of Airbus in Spain have approved a new proposal from management by a large majority, with 76.76% of voters supporting it in a referendum held on September 30 and October 1. This result could end the social conflict and strikes that have affected Airbus sites in Spain since the summer. A total of 13,560 employees participated in the vote, either in person or remotely, across Airbus factories in Getafe, Illescas, Albacete, Seville — San Pablo and Tablada — and Cadiz. The "yes" received 76.76% of the votes, the "no" 20.26%, while 2.98% of voters abstained. The consultation followed several months of negotiations between management and trade unions, which began in November 2025. These talks were followed by mobilizations starting in July, then by an unlimited strike launched at the end of August, which was later suspended. Two previous consultations had failed to resolve the deadlock. The management's proposal includes maintaining employees' purchasing power and a cumulative recovery of 7.95% over four years, until 2029. Salaries will increase each year according to real inflation, with a 2% supplement, except in 2029, where the supplement will be 1.95%. The agreement also includes two annual envelopes of 0.5% each. The first is for individual salary revisions, and the second is for internal promotions. An exceptional bonus of 2,000 euros gross is also planned for October to compensate for a three-month delay in applying inflation adjustments between January and April 2026. The agreement maintains current remote work rules for office staff, allowing up to 40% remote work time and existing individual agreements for two days of remote work per week. These provisions will also apply to future hires. The agreement also includes identifying positions compatible with more flexible arrival and departure times, though this will not apply to employees directly involved in production lines to avoid disrupting industrial activity. Regarding holidays, the agreement provides for two mandatory weeks and two flexible weeks, with the latter to be agreed upon between the employee and their manager, considering both production needs and personal circumstances. Support for the agreement was majority across all sites, though with differences by location. In Getafe, the main Airbus site in Spain, 1,847 employees voted for the agreement and 1,427 against. In Illescas, the result was 360 votes for and 129 against. In Albacete, 45 employees approved the text and four rejected it. In Andalusia, the vote was closer in San Pablo and Seville, with 488 votes in favor against 398 opposed. The agreement received more support in Tablada, with 377 votes for and 120 against, as well as in Cadiz, where 331 people voted in favor of the text, against 14 oppositions. "The result was clear: 76.76% of the votes cast supported the proposal concluded at the Ministry of Industry between the group's management and the trade unions CCOO, SIPA, ATP and UGT," said CCOO Interempresas in a statement. Cited by the site Diario de Sevilla, Antonio Montoro, general secretary of UGT FICA in Cadiz, believes that "there are now rules of the game for the coming years." "Now, it is necessary to work, obtain workloads, create jobs and make Airbus one of the major industrial engines of our country," he added. The agreement must also secure the conditions for employees affected by the Bromo project, which involves the creation of a new legal entity bringing together space activities in a joint venture with Thales and Leonardo. Airbus commits to maintaining, for transferred employees, the guarantees provided for by the collective agreement, without an additional trial period and with recognition of seniority. Management has also withdrawn its appeal before the Spanish Supreme Court on the "Bradford Factor," a mechanism related to tracking absenteeism. The agreement provides for the reimbursement of the concerned amounts in October and the establishment of a working group tasked with negotiating a new device. However, the social regulation does not end all procedures. A trial concerning a complaint filed by the CGT union, which accuses Airbus of violating the right to strike and bad faith in negotiations, remains scheduled for November 4.
