Spirit workers in Belfast are facing potential job losses as Boeing is in negotiations to purchase Spirit AeroSystems, which could lead to the loss of over 2,500 jobs. The Unite union has raised serious concerns over this situation, urging government intervention to prevent a breakup of the Belfast operation. With only a small portion of the workforce focused on wing assembly for the A220 jet, broader impacts on the local economy and aerospace sector have the workers rallying for support from officials, emphasizing the site's profitability and importance to the region's economy.
The Spirit factory is profitable and is of vital importance to the Northern Ireland economy. We cannot let a private company swoop in and cherry pick its favourite parts.
Hundreds of highly skilled Spirit workers are facing an uncertain future. The UK government must now intervene to secure not just the workers but the future of Northern Ireland aerospace.
