Once everyone had returned from the Court hearing in Newport, the lads on the balcony gave their speech to the crowd of supporters and media outside the Vestas factory.
Sebastian Sikora (or ‘Seb the Celeb’ as he has become more fondly known as – interview to follow) made an address over the PA system.
Speaking on behalf of all the workers on the balcony, he called for a national day of action this coming Saturday (and Wednesday next week).
He suggested that you down tools of an hour or do something for your community to show your support.
He went on to say that the workers inside wanted to make the point that the security and police had been good to them and that they were just ordinary good people making a living and had families to feed – they were not the enemy.
He went onto say that the managers felt that Vestas factory had no future, but the workers begged to differ.
“Changes should be made for the people, not for the money.”
Apologies for the wind disturbance.
