Thousands of Airbus SE workers in the UK are set to walk off the job for 10 days in September after 90% of union members voted to strike over the aircraft manufacturer’s pay offer.

The industrial action will start on Sept. 2 and continue over a three-week period at Airbus wing factories in Broughton and Filton, according to Unite, a union that represents more than 3,000 Airbus engineers and aircraft fitters.
