Protests have taken place at Airbus plants for a second day after it announced huge job cuts, while future strike action remains possible.
About 1,000 workers stopped work at the Laupheim plant in southern Germany, in protest at the aviation firm's decision to consider selling the site.
This followed a spontaneous walk-out by staff at Nordenham and reports of other stoppages at factories in France.
Airbus wants to cut 10,000 jobs by 2010 to make the business more competitive.
