  "summary": "Airbus employees in Spain have resumed strike action after rejecting the company's latest pay offer and mediation proposal, unions reported on Wednesday. The strike, which began on Tuesday, marks the start of an indefinite action following 22 days of industrial action in July. About 90% of eligible workers took part in the initial strike, representing roughly 40% of Airbus Spain's approximately 14,000 employees. The dispute centers around workers' rejection of a pay and conditions proposal presented by Airbus at a mediation session on Friday, citing a lack of firm timelines, financial commitments, and key issues such as holidays, flexible hours, and transport. Airbus has frozen planned hiring in Spain during the strike and did not immediately comment on the matter. Workers are seeking inflation-linked pay rises, the restoration of previous remote-working arrangements, and improved sick-leave benefits.",
