The factory aims to significantly ramp up A220 output to meet demand. However, productivity issues and supply constraints present hurdles to this goal. The union, representing the workers, is pushing for higher pay and better conditions. Members recently authorized possible strike action if demands are not met.

Both sides must work collaboratively through open discussion to find common ground balancing production targets and worker welfare. Resolving current issues is crucial for the long-term success of the A220 program and the stability of the workforce. The situation highlights complex challenges in modern aviation industry labor relations.
