Vestas Protest: National Day of Action

As the protest against the loss of 600 jobs at Vestas continues, today sees another National Day of Action.

Vestas Protest: National Day of Action: MarchAll across the UK, groups and organisations are showing their support for the protest by wearing green, holding rallies and marches.

On the Island a march from Church Litten at 12.30 to County Hall is planned. The rally at County Hall will feature speakers from the RMT and many ex-Vestas workers hoping to raise further awareness for their fight to get more green jobs on the Island.

Later this evening a gathering will take place at Chicago Rock Bar in Newport where prizes for the best green fancy dress outfit include a PS3.

Yesterday, some ex-Vestas workers gathered more support from attendees of the TUC Conference including Ed Miliband.

Thanks to Tony Kelly from the Ryde Trades Union Council for this shot from the conference.
