This is a historic campaign uniting Red and Green - trade unions, socialists, climate change activists and Greens. It should be fully supported by all who care about climate change and jobs.
Save Vestas Rally
Tuesday 28th July , 6.30 pm
Outside the Department of Energy and Climate Change, No 3 Whitehall Place (off Whitehall, Charing Cross tube)
Called jointly by the Campaign against Climate Change and the RMT (National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers)
Speakers include Vestas worker and Jean Lambert, Green MEP for London.
On Wednesday 29th the case goes to court for Vestas to take out an injunction to evict the occupiers of the plant in Newport on the Isle of Wight.
Hence the need for a show of support Tuesday evening – there will also be a big demonstration outside the court on the Isle of Wight on Wednesday morning.
Just when we need a huge expansion in renewable energy they are closing down the only wind turbine factory in the UK. The government has spent billions bailing out the banks, and £2.3 billion in loan guarantees to support the UK car industry– they can and should step in to save the infrastructure we are really going to need to save us from climate catastrophe.
