A new wave of wildcat strikes hits Notts

Anarchist | 18.06.2009 10:13 | Workers' Movements

Reports are coming in of a wildcat demonstration outside Ratcliffe power station causing delays on the A453. The Independent says that West Burton power plant is also affected. The strikers are supporting fellow workers at the Lindsey refinery in Lincs where over 50 were laid off a week ago.

It seems that the energy behind the wildct strikes that took the government by surprise earlier in the year has not faded away. Let's support these workers' struggles without giving in to the nationalist rhetoric that the far right are trying to stir up.
