Aircraft workers have voted hugely in favour of losing a day's pay per month to help save jobs. After the voting results were known, defence company Lockheed Martin confirmed that a current 30-year deal with BAE Systems to supply 3,000 Joint Strike Fighter planes would continue with future production expected to increase. At the beginning of the year BAE said that more than half the 1,400 jobs under threat in Lancashire had been cut without compulsory redundancies.
