At my request, as I was attending the demo for Vestas last night outside the ironically named 'Dept for Energy and Climate Change', where one speaker commented that the only thing they had done on the latter was add new signs to the entrance, Southwark Trade Union Council passed a motion of support for the Vestas workers and is also writing to Ed Milliband to support them.
Jean Lambert MEP gave a speech and the new Green Party Trade Union Group banner was on display. Martin Francis's placard was photographed extensively - he was the recent Green Party by election candidate in Brent. Pictures on Indymedia below. It would be a good idea if others can get local Trade Union Councils to pass motions of support.
An RMT speaker said that they were paying for the legal costs of the court case today in the Isle of Wight and that thousands of rail jobs were also on the line following recent meetings with the rail companies. Expect a lot of publicity today from the court case.
