News of a meeting to support the continuing struggle around Vestas organised by Battersea & Wandsworth TUC at the trade union run pub 'Bread and Roses' in Clapham, Lambeth. Well worth supporting as the battle continues.
Solidarity with Vestas workers
Public Meeting organised by Battersea and Wandsworth TUC
Thursday 20th August @ the Bread and roses pub (64 Clapham Manor Street) 7:30 pm
Nearest over ground; Clapham High street, under ground; Clapham North/Clapham Common
Directions; http://www.breadandrosespub.com/finding-us.aspx

Workers at the Vestas wind turbine factory on the isle of Wight have now been evicted from the occupation of their factory. They took up the occupation after the company announced that they intend to move production of wind turbine blades to America, stripping workers of their jobs, offering paltry redundancy packages and removing from the UK a source of harnessing renewable energy – which the government claim to be dedicated to.
Although the workers have been forced to end their occupation, they are still fighting back. Turbines and production materials are still inside the factory so workers are keeping up their relentless picket.
This is why Battersea and Wandsworth TUC have organised a meeting of trade unionists and activists within south London as a sign of support and an opportunity to decide what further action needs to be taken to keep up the fight and raise awareness of the issue in our neck of the woods.
