Vestas 'Day of Action for Jobs and the Planet' on Thursday 17 Sept. The TUC conference in Liverpool passed a motion of support and in London a demonstration was held outside the Department of Energy and Climate Change in Whitehall Place. Speakers at the rally, which was organised by the Campaign Against Climate Change, included John McDonnell, MP, Darren Johnson, Green Party spokesman on trade and industry and chair of the London Assembly, trade union organisers and Mark Flowers, one of the sacked Vestas workers. The rally demanded that Vestas reinstate the sacked workers and give better redundancy packages to all of their staff, and that the government must take over the Vestas factory and create green jobs across the country.
