The latest twist in the stand off between the Vestas workers carrying out a sit-in at the Newport plant has come to light.
We’ve been told by Vestas workers outside that contact has been made by Vestas with those inside.
We understand that the company has told those inside that if they leave the building by 6:30pm tonight, they will keep their double statutory pay off – otherwise they will be forcibly removed.
We’re contacting Vestas for a comment.
UPDATE: The police inspector has just arrived and been asked if the police are planning to remove the protesters. He’s said that they won’t be taking the protesters out, as long as the protesters don’t break up the place.
