Tomorrow (Wednesday 12 Aug) trade unionists, socialists and environmental campaigners will be joining together across the country to take part in a national day of solidarity called by the Vestas workers in support of their fight against job losses.
The two leafleting/collection events in Brighton will be taking place at 12noon till 2pm at the city centre clocktower and at 6pm at Churchill Square where there will hopefully be the opportunity for a street meeting with speeches offering our solidarity to the Vestas workers.
Following this evening event there will be an organisation meeting of the Brighton Vestas support group, who have organised these solidarity events, at the Prince Albert pub on Trafalgar Street at 8pm. All trade unionists are encouraged to come along.
The support of the trade unions and their members in this dispute is invaluable. As the RMT have demonstrated, trade union help and involvement in spreading word of this battle throughout our workplaces and communities strengthens the confidence and unity of the whole working class against all the cuts, closures and job losses that we face. Come down to the events tomorrow and show your support. Spread word of the campaign and get involved in fighting back.

Our next meeting: 8pm Wednesday 5 August
The next Brighton, Hove and District Trade Union Council meeting will take place at 8pm on Wednesday 5 August at The Stag public house on Upper Bedford Street, Brighton. This meeting is open to all interested trade unionists living and/or working in the area who want to get active in strenghtening trade union movement.
At tonight's meeting we will be discussing support that can be built for the workers at the Vestas windturbine plant on the Isle of Wight (see message of solidarity from Brighton Trades Council below) and demonstrations and action that can be organised for the Labour Party conference coming up next month. We hope to see you there.
Dear comrades
Brighton, Hove and District Trades Union Council sends greetings to the Vestas workforce engaged in a battle to defend jobs, and defend the planet. We salute the courage of those who are currently in occupation and the determination of those who are organising other forms of protest and helping to build support throughout the international Trade Union Movement.
Several members of BH&DTUC have travelled to the IOW to attend your meetings and demonstrations, and have found them to be an inspiration. We will keep our members informed of developments and will continue to provide whatever support we can.
Yours in Solidarity - Unity is Strength
