Airbus Eases Remote Work Restrictions After Union Protests

Airbus has eased its plans to limit remote working following union protests, particularly in Spain. Originally, the firm wanted staff on-site four days a week, but now allows for two days of remote work. This comes amidst ongoing strikes and challenges in attracting young talent to the aerospace sector.

Airbus has revised its approach to limiting remote work after facing union protests and a series of strikes at its Spanish facilities, sources revealed. Initially, the company aimed to have staff work on-site four days a week but has now retracted this decision.

In response to feedback, Airbus management will now allow employees to continue their current remote working schedule, typically two days per week from home, effectively pausing the planned transition to a stricter one-day remote work policy.

The move represents a setback for Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury's campaign to draw employees back to the office. The company seeks to meet soaring demand and facilitate new product development, aiming for improved in-person collaboration.
