Corus workers march to save steel
14th July 2009
DATE: Saturday, 18th July 2009
TIME: 12pm - 4pm, march departs at 2pm
MEETING POINT: Majuba Road car park, Redcar
Workers from across Teesside will march through Redcar this
Saturday (18th July) in a campaign to protect the region’s Corus
plant.
Workers and their families will be carrying placards saying:
'Save our Steel' as part of the campaign to safeguard the 150 year
old plant. This is in response to news that some 2,000 workers are
under threat since a consortium of companies pulled the plug on a
10 year purchasing contract.
Unite, a leading union at the plant, is one of a coalition of
unions who say the community in Teesside will be devastated if the
Corus plant was to be shut down, as many local families and
businesses depend on the plant for their livelihoods.
