An Airbus contract offer being voted on this month by Montreal-area workers involved in the production of its smallest A220 jets is being dismissed by their union as “totally unacceptable,” according to a memo to members.
Airbus is holding talks with the estimated 1,300 workers in Canada’s province of Quebec at a time when the European planemaker is trying to control costs on its loss-making A220 jet.
While details of the deal will only be presented on March 10, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) warned in the letter that the offer “doesn’t work at all and is totally unacceptable.”
