EVICTION OF VESTAS SCHEDULED FOR MIDDAY TOMORROW (Friday)

**Please come down to support - contact details below**

Since the 20th July workers have been occupying Vestas blades, which is
the UK’s only wind blade factory, in protest at plans to close it down and
axe 625 jobs.

Climate campers, along with a wide range of people, have been down on the
island in support of the occupation for the duration. Two days ago, a
group of activists from climate camp occupied the roof of a second Vestas
facility in support of the workers at Vestas Blades.

This support has been hugely appreciated by the workers occupying the
factory who are set to not only lose their jobs, but because of their
protest, will also lose their redundancies. They are now making a huge
call out for anyone who can take the day off tomorrow to get down to the
island in time to support the workers as they face eviction.

This fight isn’t over, but more support is desperately needed.

Please contact Bex on 07971719797 for more information and details on
transport or email  vestasvolunteers@riseup.net (response will be slower on
email that calls). Free transport is being organised from London tonight
at 10pm. If you can’t go tomorrow send us an email – we will be organising
more transport in the coming days.

Act fast! xox
