Where is the aerospace industry going? What are the main weaknesses? What are the main opportunities in terms of work and personnel organisation? Are there any differences between the different European countries and production sites? These topics and many more will be discussed by in-company and union representatives from eight countries at our European workshop. Practical approaches will be proposed and discussed in view of their implementation in companies. With this in mind, a European survey was conducted by the project partners before the workshop. The results provide interesting facts and figures that will help conduct a discussion about the future of the aerospace industry.
This first workshop aims at,
• analysing staff , qualification and labour standards,
• improving the exchange of information between the European partners,
• identifying areas for possible trade union actions
• developing trade union stances and strategies based on the above considerations.
Trade union initiatives to be implemented in selected strategic areas will be discussed without forgetting the different claims and policies of different trade unions in Europe. At this workshop partners will develop action plans and concrete initiatives for implementation in different countries and companies. In practical terms, participants will be asked to provide contribution on how to increase the momentum and achieve sustainable solutions which will generate jobs and shape future occupational policies.
