CARL SARGEANT AM – AIRBUS JOBS REACTION
Responding to Monday’s statement from Airbus UK at Broughton Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, expressed his disappointment that jobs will be lost.Mr Sargeant said: “I am very disappointed to hear that Airbus will be cutting the workforce at the plant. “The driver behind the move is a reduction in the Hawker programme, so the threat to jobs is localised to that particular line of production, which at least is of some reassurance to the wider workforce at Airbus in Broughton.“I have been in contact with both the Unite the Union and with Airbus and I know that the company will work to avoid compulsory redundancies and will look instead to voluntary redundancies wherever possible.“The company is still progressing with its plans to take on apprentices this year, so I am still confident that the company has a buoyant future here in Alyn and Deeside.“I am keeping in contact with the plant at this time and have also written to the Minister for the Economy asking what support the Assembly Government will be offering those people affected by today’s announcement in Alyn and Deeside.”
