09-12-2008 14:24



Monday's action has shown the power of young people determined to turn the climate talk into climate action.

Angered by the rejection of the sacked migrants appeal, one of the workers and people from oxford, bristol and south wales no borders made a right racket outside Amey's Oxford HQ.

In September 2008 five Colombian cleaners working for Amey Plc at the
National Physical Laboratory were suspended for daring to criticise Amey
for putting an excessive workload onto ever fewer staff, for
unilaterally changing terms and conditions and for disrespecting
grievance procedures. The five have since been sacked.
