EVICTION OF VESTAS SCHEDULED FOR MIDDAY TOMORROW (Friday)
which is the UK's only wind blade factory, in protest at plans to
close it down and axe 625 jobs.
Climate campers, along with a wide range of people, have been down on the island in support of the occupation for the duration. Two days
ago, a group of activists from climate camp occupied the roof of a
second Vestas facility in support of the workers at Vestas Blades.
This support has been hugely appreciated by the workers occupying the
factory who are set to not only lose their jobs, but because of their
protest, will also lose their redundancies. They are now making a
huge call out for anyone who can take the day off tomorrow to get
down to the island in time to support the workers as they face eviction.
This fight isn't over, but more support is desperately needed.
Please contact Bex on 07971719797 for more information and details on
transport or email vestasvolunteers@riseup.net (response will be
slower on email that calls). Free transport is being organised from
London tonight at 10pm. If you can't go tomorrow send us an email –
we will be organising
more transport in the coming days.
Act fast!
