Airbus workers in France have walked off their jobs to protest the postponed sale of Airbus assembly plants in Germany.
Local union officials in Toulouse said 80 percent of all Airbus employees at four French plants took part in the strike. Unions say they are concerned that the German plants will get preferential treatment for future contracts. Plans to sell the German factories have been put on ice after negotiations broke down last month. Airbus chief Tom Enders has not ruled out more job cuts as the company struggles to regain profitability.
