"This strike is entirely the making of Leonardo. It can fix it with the stroke of a pen."
"Our members are highly skilled and work on critical defence and aerospace systems yet are being short-changed by a company making billions. Leonardo needs to do the right thing, return to the negotiating table and make an improved offer our members can accept. Otherwise, they will see their workers on the picket line and their factories shutdown."
Leonardo staff who are members of the Unite union voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action across the company’s main UK sites in a dispute over pay. The Italian-owned company offered a two-year deal of 3.2% with potential variable pay increases to about 9.2%, which Unite describes as a real-terms pay cut given inflation. All UK sites backed strike action, but Unite has not yet set a walkout date and has requested a return to negotiations. Unite warns that a strike will take place this autumn if an improved offer is not made.
