Thousands of Airbus workers in the United Kingdom, represented by the trade union Unite, have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a 10-day strike starting next month. The union, which represents over 3,000 aircraft fitters and engineers, reported that 90% of members who participated in the ballot chose industrial action to demand better pay. The strike threatens to disrupt the production of aircraft wings and potentially bring Airbus's global aircraft manufacturing to a halt unless the company presents an improved wage offer. This labor unrest in the UK coincides with rising labor activism at Boeing in the United States, where unions are also pushing for better pay amid ongoing tensions. Boeing’s CEO is facing challenges in rebuilding company culture as the company contends with increased labor activism not seen in decades.
