After weathering the Covid-19 storm, Airbus announced a historic profit for 2021 of 4.2 billion euros.

It has the effect of straining the ongoing wage negotiations.

Three minority unions of the aircraft manufacturer - the CGT, the CFDT and the Unsa - call for a strike on Tuesday.

While the group's management is proposing an increase of 6.2% over two years, they are calling for an increase of at least 6.5% over one year.

About 200 employees following the strike slogan gathered this Tuesday morning in front of one of the Airbus sites in Toulouse.

FO, the majority union, for its part wants to wait for the new negotiations scheduled for Wednesday before considering a mobilization.

"We don't go on strike to negotiate," says its coordinator Dominique Delbouis.

But he considers the first proposal to increase salaries by 4% in July this year insufficient in view of foreseeable inflation.

For the management underlines that its proposals "aim to find the best balance between the expectations expressed by employees in terms of purchasing power and the need to maintain strong competitiveness for the company despite a context that remains difficult and uncertain. ".
