Les Bayliss: Aerospace and Shipbuilding Sector Update.

Les Bayliss visits BAE Systems.
As part of a recent visit to Scotland, Les Bayliss visited BAE Systems. He addressed Unite Shop Stewards Groups from all three Scottish yards. Scotstoun, Govan, and Rosyth.

Les stated: "The positive relationship between BAE Systems and Unite is crucial to the continued success of the Company in Scotland and throughout it's other UK operations. The focus is on long term stability of employment, high quality product, and most importantly, a healthy respect for each others points of view.

The Government is already realising that it can't just demand £40 billion worth of cuts without examining exactly what that would mean to ordinary working people. Shipbuilding in Scotland has a wonderful history of struggle but more importantly survival. All three Scottish yards have flourished in recent years and Unite members are amongst the most highly skilled workers within the industry. We want to work with all our partners to ensure everyone involved has a future well beyond the current order book."
