My feelings go out to those at BAE Systems that are loosing their jobs. Even if the company are to blame for things like the MRA4 fiasco, the blame would lie at the top, not with the workers on the production floor where the majority of the cuts will come.
We also need to remember that less employees means less work being done. Less work being done means fewer parts needed. Fewer parts needed means those firms supplying the parts will also be affected. How many others outside BAE Systems will also be loosing their jobs as a direct result of this? My thoughts go out to them too
