Airbus workers will go on strike next month amid a pay row with bosses in a move that threatens to disrupt the production of plane wings.
Thousands of the manufacturer’s UK employees will walk out for ten days from early September, trade union Unite said.
Unite, which represents more than 3,000 of the company’s aircraft fitters and engineers, said 90 per cent of its members voting in the ballot had chosen industrial action.
The strikes will go ahead unless the European jet maker presents an improved pay offer amid rising inflation and cost of living concerns, union officials warned.
Strikes at the UK sites – including Broughton in Flintshire and Filton, near Bristol – could hamper the firm’s plans to step up plane production, from 766 last year to 820 in 2025, amid growing demand.
