We don't know if any of those 1,300 not identified by location will be at the airbus plant in Mobile. There may be contractual restrictions preventing cuts there. 26 people were laid off at the plant earlier this month.
TOULOUSE/PARIS
(Reuters) - Airbus on Tuesday unveiled plans to shed around 15,000 jobs
including 900 already earmarked in Germany, saying its future was at
stake after the coronavirus pandemic rocked the air travel industry.
Europe's
biggest aerospace group said it would cut some 5,000 posts in France,
5,100 in Germany, 900 in Spain, 1,700 in the UK and 1,300 elsewhere for a
core total of 14,000.
Additionally, the company has already agreed to cut 900 jobs at its Premium AEROTEC unit in Germany.
The
move is subject to talks with unions which immediately renewed pledges
to oppose compulsory redundancies. Airbus has refused to rule them out
as it seeks voluntary departures.
