# Ministry intervenes in ongoing Airbus strike 4 September 2026 at 14:54 > The Ministry of Industry has stepped in to mediate talks between Airbus and unions following a deadlock over pay and remote work terms. The Ministry of Industry has intervened to mediate in the ongoing **Airbus** strike after the company halted talks at the SIMA with non-striking unions. Industry Minister **Jordi Hereu** contacted CCOO and UGT on 3 September, scheduling a meeting for 12:30 on 4 September. The industrial action, which began on 1 July and resumed on 24 August, follows cuts to remote work and lost purchasing power. Although Airbus offered a 5% pay rise for 2026-27 and a 2,000 euro payment, 81% of workers rejected pausing the strike to negotiate. Secretary of State Jordi García Brustenga expressed concern over the deadlock on 1 September. The current offer aims to restore 7.6% of the 9% lost purchasing power while maintaining existing remote work and vacation schemes, but a final agreement remains elusive.
