Vestas factory in occupation!

Workers at Vestas, the wind turbine factory on the Isle of Wight threatened with closure by management, have gone into occupation to save their jobs and keep alive the possibility of ecologically sound industry.

We call on everyone to send their solidarity and greetings to the workers there, and to take collections as soon as possible. The more support we give them, the more likely another victory to add to the ones seen at Visteon, Waterford, Lindsey and Prisme. Every successful fight makes the prospect of workers fighting back against the bosses offensive more likely, and helps rejuvenate working class political and economic strength.

If we can stand up and tell them 'We won't pay for your crisis', then we might just be able to stave off the coming attacks, and put forward our vision of a brighter future for ordinary people, instead of the sacrifice and hypocrisy spread by the parties at Westminster.
