In the ongoing conflict about the planned conversion of civil aircraft production at Airbus in Germany, the company and IG Metall sat down again at the negotiating table on Monday (January 31).
This date was confirmed by spokesmen for both sides on Tuesday.
From the point of view of IG Metall, the conflict is entering a decisive phase.
"The 31st is the deadline," said the second representative of IG Metall Hamburg, Emanuel Glass, of the dpa.
Hamburg - If there is no solution, the union will initiate a vote on a strike.
Airbus actually wanted to combine the assembly of aircraft fuselages and structures in a new subsidiary at the beginning of 2022.
The Airbus works in Stade, parts of the Hamburg location and the Airbus subsidiary Premium Aerotec with three of the four Augsburg plants and the locations in Bremen and Nordenham would be affected.
In addition, the aircraft manufacturer wants to sell the parts production at Premium Aerotec in Augsburg, in Varel in Friesland and in Romania to an investor.

The trade union rejects such an investor solution and demands that the parts production be checked at the same time in the Airbus group.
The second major area of conflict is the range of location and employment commitments in Airbus structural assembly.
The union is demanding a perspective beyond 2030, when the production of a successor to the successful A320 family is due.
