Major French unions on Monday signed a keenly awaited labour deal with Europe’s Airbus covering job reductions and furloughs for production workers affected by coronavirus-blighted demand for passenger jets, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After three months of talks, unions representing a majority of the planemaker\u2019s French workers signed an agreement paving the way for 4,200 job reductions in France, including 3,400 in Toulouse, Europe\u2019s aerospace capital where Airbus is based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unions say the agreement will prevent compulsory redundancies, although Chief Executive Guillaume Faury recently warned staff that voluntary measures would not be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unions also signed an agreement implementing government-backed furlough schemes for up to 30% of French employees mainly involved in production work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, Airbus is looking for 15,000 job cuts among its more than 130,000 staff and has reaffirmed those plans after aviation markets failed to recover as quickly as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it has said 1,500 jobs could be spared if government backing remains for furloughs and 500 others could be saved by French government funding on a new carbon-free aircraft project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreements take effect on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus workers have until Dec. 31 to sign up for voluntary redundancy, but that could be extended to March 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
