Workers at Airbus have voted to accept proposals for a shorter working week to save more than 360 jobs at Brougton.
Airbus announced more than 1,700 jobs were at risk in the 海角视频 last June - with around 1,400 at the North Wales wing plant, in addition to 400 agency workers who were made redundant.
It followed a slump in production due to the crisis in the aviation sector because of the Covid pandemic.
Close to 1,000 Airbus staff have left through voluntary redundancies but Unite the union was battling to avoid compulsory cuts for around 360 staff.
They have been in talks with Airbus management to reach deal and last month put a proposal to workers on a shorter working week.
Under the plan if workers agreed a reduction in hours of up to 10% then the jobs could be secured.
This afternoon Unite said that the proposal had been "overwhelmingly" accepted.
Airbus has agreed to pay one third of the wages for the lost hours.
