Summary
About 3,000 Airbus employees at the Getafe plant south of Madrid are taking part in a strike that began July 1 and is set to run through the end of July.
Workers say conditions have worsened over recent years, citing disputes over pay, remote-work arrangements and vacation policies.
The industrial action was organized by the Independent Union of Aviation Professionals, or SIPA, at one of Airbus's major manufacturing sites in Spain.
Roughly 9,000 people work at Getafe, meaning about one-third of the plant's workforce is participating in the stoppage.
