Either longer short-time work or numerous jobs are being cut. This is the announcement from Airbus boss Guillaume Faury to the British government.
In the United Kingdom, short-time working at Airbus will expire shortly and, given the current situation, will not be extended. The legal basis in the UK does not currently provide for this. The aircraft manufacturer is now calling on the government to extend the short-time working model, otherwise numerous employees would have to be dismissed.
Airbus boss Guillaume Faury was very clear to the Financial Times and said that the job cuts in the UK will be much stronger than in Germany or France if the government refuses to extend short-time work until October 2020. The United Kingdom should take an example from Germany or France, where short-time work can be used for up to two years.
