Aerospace
A few large companies

The Aerospace department aims to coordinate affiliates' policy in the sector and to develop a common strategy for unions to address developments and challenges in the industry. The work is carried out through a Steering Committee and a special working group for Airbus – Boeing. There is also close cooperation with the European Metalworkers' Federation and its Aerospace working group.

Robert Steiert, [email protected], is director for aerospace.
