Quote: Hutchie "Why the big uproar?

Every other industry in Hull has probably been through it in the past 5 years, yet hasnt got a quarter of the press.

Got every sympathy with people losing there jobs but have the BAE staff etc cried wolf one time too many ? Seems every year this has happened at that site'"

Quote: hull fc_white "i work there..and i have a family,and how exactcly have we cried wolf u fooking pr1ck...and we have lost nearly half our workforce over the last five years,there was 7000 workers there when i started now 1200...so put a sock in it eh..'"


having re-read my post it doesnt read like it was meant to, and like i said i have every sympathy with anyone who loses a job.

I meant to say have the BAE unions sold there staff short.

For as long as i can remember the threat of redundancies has been at that site on probably an annual basis, have they accepted the right sort of contracts or have they forced the government to give them deals just to keep the place going instead of securing the more lucrative contracts.

Given the decline in the industry and more reliance on modern technoloy and more up to date production methods then future job losses were always going to be a possibilty, i know of friends who are glad they got out when they could, yet others have hung on as they thought they had jobs for life in a very well paid industry.

Been in this situation 3 times in the last 5 years myself so i know what im talking about.

Nice curve-ball Hutchie.

It's the unions fault now is it?

I actually had a slight empathy with what you initially posted.
BAE does appear to have had a little exclusivity over the years.

Unemployment has been disasterous for fishermen, miners, steelworkers, and will no doubt be the same for BAE workers.

gutted for all the workers, my husband was very fortunate to be offered early retirement 10 year ago, even though he was only 52. It was the best thing he ever did, he worked there for 30 years and the moral was very low at the time he went. It got worse over the years, a lot of the problem has always been bad management, they only find things from the media and newspapers which is not good. I still have family and friends there and feel really sorry for them all. Good luck to them.

Good post I agree, as someone who got out of the Council before all the mayhem started there I see your point!

Gutted for everyone there, especially those on the shop floor. I was lucky enough to transfer to Typhoon maintenance during the last set of redundancies.
Sadly the writing has been on the wall for a long time, it was always a case of when rather than 'if'.
A very sad day though for a site with a lot of history.

It is all down to bad management. Bet they are regretting selling their stake in Airbus a few years ago and putting all their eggs in the military and arms basket. airbus and the main share holder EADS (franco German company) are now experiencing record orders and profits. Real shame for all involved. Always the regular Joe who bares the brunt.

Quote: kt170496 "I feel for people in work or trying to get work this day and age .I was lucky in my working days there was plenty of work and you could change your job like changing a shirt .I now tell people I am glad my working days are over .It must be heartbreaking to be out of work and a family to keep ..Saying sorry doesn't help when you have bills to pay If anybody is out of work I hope you are lucky and get back into employment ..Best of luck , People who are 60/65 should be made to retire to make way for younger people to do that job .After 50 years or more of working that should be enough for anybody you have done your bit'"



Unfortunately the government and company pension schemes are making even the choice of early retirement a thing of the past, for normal working folk.

So it's the unions Fault now people have a choice to join a Union
But the Coalition with all they cuts walk away Scot free
These people were warned about what would happen if the cuts
were brought in.A decade of skilled workers will be lost
But the rich get richer and the poor get sh-- kick out of them
Voting Tory = they look after they own and the other lot have help them
The blame lay with this Government Jobs Crime Education Health the lot
The poor Families hit hardest by Coalition
