Marshall Aerospace (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Around 250 Unite members at Marshall Aerospace in Cambridge are being balloted for strike action in a dispute over pay, Unite, the UK's leading union, said today. The highly skilled engineers maintain C-130 Hercules aircraft and manufacture auxiliary fuel tanks for the Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, making a vital contribution to allied defence capability. Workers have overwhelmingly rejected the company's 4.5 per cent pay offer. Since 2020, their pay has fallen by around 16 per cent in real terms when measured against RPI inflation. The dispute comes as Marshall Group continues to benefit from the significant value being realised through the redevelopment of its Cambridge land holdings. At the same time, Marshall Aerospace remains an established and successful aerospace business.
