Unite's reaction to Bombardier's announcement to cut
jobs in Belfast
2 April 2009
Bernie Hamilton, Unite's national officer for aerospace said:
"The workers in Belfast are highly skilled. Bombardier needs to do
everything possible to retain these workers for when the recession
comes to an end.
"We are calling on Bombardier to avoid compulsory job cuts. Any
reductions in the workforce should only be achieved through
voluntary means. It must look at all options, including bringing
work currently outsourced back in-house and embarking on a strategy
to win more work for the plant. This difficult period should be
used as an opportunity to re-skill and re-train the workforce to
prepare for the future. "
