Title: Airbus job cuts 'must be shared'
Post by: casper on February 14, 2007, 11:00:28 AM
Germany has pledged to fight against the country's Airbus plants being disproportionately hit by expected job cuts at the aircraft-maker.
The comments of Economy Minister Michael Glos come a week before Airbus is due to unveil a key restructuring plan on 20 February.

Germany is fearful it may bear the brunt of cuts, as Airbus' headquarters and core assembly site is in France.

Airbus' main UK union is also meeting the firm over redundancy fears.
