Remply York March 2008

Remploy York closes on March 6th 2008 - This short film highlights why it shouldn't

What you may not have realised from this moving video is that Tracy saves lives for a living.

It is her job to inspect every stitch on the Bio Hazard/gas warfare suits (MK4s) that protect the lives of the public servants who go into the most dangerous and potentionaly deadly environments on our behalf and who rely on Tracey’s skill and attention to detail to keep them safe and alive.

Gordon Brown, Prime Minister thinks that it makes more sense for Tracey to get a job at Tesco retrieving trolleys in the car park. He is closing the Remploy factory in York on 6th March 2008 where Tracey carries out her vital work. Who knows where this vital work will go to now or who’s skill Britain’s protection forces will have to rely on to keep them safe.

GMB Christmas Appeal Update and Authentication

Thanks to all of you who have already sent cheques to help SITRAP trade union activist, Allan Hernandez Venegas and his family, in response to our GMB Christmas Appeal. Unfortunately, owing to the preponderance of scam e-mails soliciting money, and gremlins in the system that prevented us from including photographs, many of you were not convinced that the appeal was genuine.
