Thales Workers Prepare to Strike | Glasgow News

Hundreds of workers at Thales’ Govan and Reading arms factories are poised to strike, rejecting a pay offer they say fails to match soaring inflation—despite the company’s reported profits and major defense contracts. The dispute intensifies amid controversy over Thales’ ties to Elbit Systems, Israel’s drone supplier, through a joint venture. Union leaders accuse Thales of bad-faith bargaining, while the company defends its offer as market-competitive, citing base pay hikes, one-time bonuses, and pension boosts. With final negotiations looming, workers warn they’re ready to walk out and hit the picket lines soon.
