Inside the Visteon occupation.

These pics were shot a few days ago.

The workers at Visteon are a truly courageous bunch of people whom have never done anything like this before so they deserve EVERYONES support. They were sacked at six minutes notice. The night shift were sacked by phone. Please raise money or take them some food and drink.

The address is easy to find the nearest station is rectory road.

I am pleased to note that a website has now been set up, see:

If these people can set a clear example for how people can respond to recession linked sackings then who knows? Maybe, just maybe workers across the UK will stop taking this shit and start doing something about it.

More support!

This occupation, in all three factories, could use much more support from the anti-capitalist movement as a whole. Hell, this is potentially one of the biggest things to have happened in the worker's movement in this country for a long time. They especially need support from other workers in their struggle... if this action can be helped to spread, then this could become a very powerful weapon against capitalism.

SOLIDARITY FOREVER
