There seems to be a Common Theme from most of the posts I have read Bombardier Employees Feel Undervalued, Workforce Opinion falls on Deaf Ears, Constant Job Insecurity And the Relentless Push for More for Less is taking its toll on all the Workforce having worked at company for 25 years I have seen many ups and downs but morale is the the lowest I can ever remember Why is this? employees have clearly stated their opinions and feelings are these claims justifiable! I Believe So Management in the Belfast site cannot be held accountable for all the ill feeling but they contribute to a very large portion of the current general mood corner boy mentality still lingers and this petty attitude gets ingnored at senior levels possibly encouraged to some degree, I have the pleasure of working along side a lot of highly skilled hard working enthusiastic people shop floor and staff alike but these relationships are suffering to some degree with the constant pressure of COST Reductions many departments are running well below what's is required to achieve the great standard we have always achieved In short Belfast is damaging itself this is clearly evident why! Our Canadian Owners are Pushing to Hard asking for unrealistic targets with the budget and manning levels we have at Belfast to give a clear and concise reason of why sometimes we cannot meet targets,schedule,quality of work,is merely looked upon as an excuse this is well known at a senior level within the company but no one will put their neck on the proverbial chopping block and push back for fear of Being Made Redundant! Many Belfast Employees have travelled to Canadian sites and witnessed first hand a Far Less Cash Containment Environment a Better Payed Workforce with all the Required Manning Levels and Tools at their disposal to get the job done Yet Belfast Suffers! It's a Them and US culture a Second Rate Sibling if u like! We at Belfast have GAVE OUR 20% AND THEN SOME it's time for our friends across the water to step up! How much more can we give how many people have to to lose their jobs how much is enough! Unfortunately no matter how much we graft IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
Our working terms and conditions are constantly being eroded constant deskilling of what once was a highly skilled workforce! THE FUTURE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SO BRIGHT!.....
