 Striking is the only option left for Bombardier Aerospace's put upon workforce. Unions have exhausted all other outlets. Management at Bombardier Aerospace are intent on closing the factory anyway, by laying off 1,500 of its workforces, after already laying of 2000, is an indication that Bombardier Aerospace are winding down their operations in Belfast. Bombardier Aerospace workforce need to pull their fingers out and Strike, in order to hit management where it hurts. This is the only language management understand, Striking will have a direct effect on Bombardier's profits and also highlight the underhand way in which Bombardier are conducting work place negotiations. After the continued layoffs bombardier got unions to negotiate a work place contract detrimental to its work forces best interests, the work force accepted lower wages, worse working conditions in order to secure their jobs in the long term. Bombardier have clearly gone back on their word, despite the sacrifices of its workforce in terms of wages and working conditions and are intent on closing down the factory anyway. Now Bombardier are trying to renegotiate the previous contracts in the best interests of company profits and are threatening redundencies to get the new working contracts which further erode workers wages, rights and working conditions through. |
