... says the BBC.
Quote:
Thousands of French Airbus workers have gone on strike in protest at the company's restructuring plans, which include cutting 10,000 jobs.Organisers of the day-long protest have warned of further action if the proposed redundancies are enforced.
France will lose 4,300 jobs as its share of the planned shake-up - with a chain of suppliers also threatened.
German workers took part in walkouts and stoppages last week in protest at the proposed changes.

This is a very important struggle. The ICC has produced a leaflet about this struggle "Airbus: if we accept sacrifices today, the bourgeoisie will hit us even harder tomorrow!". At the moment it is only in French [url=http://fr.internationalism.org/node/2804, and German [url=http://de.internationalism.org/iksonline_airbusflug] and we will have it in English very soon and will post it here.
