Airbus workers vote to strike over 'poor pay' offer
Airbus workers have voted in favour of industrial action in a dispute over a "poor pay" offer. More than 3,000 aircraft fitters and engineers at sites in Broughton, Flintshire, and Filton, Bristol, were balloted by the union Unite, and 95% of union members voted in favour of strikes on an 80% turnout. In a statement, Airbus said it was not formally notified of any industrial action, and while it had made a "competitive and fair" pay offer, would be open to further discussions with the union to find a way forward. The Unite union said it remained committed to trying to avoid industrial action if the company would be prepared to re-negotiate.

However, Unite said while the pay offer would not be made public as negotiations continued, it was below inflation and a "real-terms pay cut". Rhys McCarthy, Unite national officer for aerospace, said the vote "shows the depth of anger that our members have over the poor pay offer from Airbus". "It is not too late to avoid industrial action if they get back around the negotiating table with a new offer that is acceptable to our members," he added. "Otherwise they will see that anger first-hand on the picket line." The workers produce aircraft wings for the A320 family, A330, A350 and A400M military transport aircraft - core programmes in Airbus's global operations. If there is no resolution, strike action could begin in September, with dates to be confirmed.
