A week ago, more than 10,000 employees took part in a nearly one-day warning strike against management’s plans. According to the union, the aircraft manufacturer’s locations in Hamburg, Stade, Bremen and Buxtehude were affected. At the Airbus subsidiary Premium Aerotec, on the other hand, employees in Augsburg, Bremen, Varel and Nordenham are reportedly on strike.
According to the company, the Augsburg-based Airbus subsidiary Premium Aerotec has been accumulating losses in the billions for twelve years. Airbus now wants to merge parts of Airbus and the Augsburg subsidiary Premium Aerotec in a new subsidiary. Airbus is looking for an investor for the production of individual parts and small components.
