Unite's reaction to job cuts at BAE systems
30th April 2009
Unite's national officer, Bernie Hamilton, said: "We are
extremely disappointed, this announcement impacts the UK's ability
to build and design the next generation armoured vehicles (FRES)
and other equipment.
"The government must now make the right and speedy decision on
the new scout vehicles, which must be designed, built and
maintained in the UK by UK workers, to help underpin what remains
of the UK capability and business."
