Unite warns of job loss ‘avalanche’ in Britain's aerospace industry
The Airbus factory at Filton in Bristol after the aerospace giant announced it is planning to cut 1,700 jobs in the UK as a result of the coronavirus crisis

BRITAIN is on course to lose its aerospace industry if urgent action is not taken, union Unite warned today.

12,000 jobs have already been lost in the sector in recent months, including 1,700 at Airbus, according to research by the union.

Unite warns that job losses in the industry — which employs over 100,000 workers — could “snowball into an avalanche of further redundancies.”
