Dear
Comrade
Remploy
is proposing to close 36 of its factories before the summer is over. These
closures will include all three remaining sites in London. Since the last round
of closures, 4-years ago, some 80-85% of those made redundant are still out of
work.
The
hundreds of Disabled Remploy factory workers who find themselves jobless come
August, if the closures go ahead, will find it even more difficult to find work
than it was in 2008. Most fear long periods of unemployment.
We
must do our best to help our Remploy Comrades to keep their plants open.
On
Thursday 26th March at 6.30 pm the Remploy Unions in London are holding a 'Save
Remploy' public meeting. This will be a meeting with a slight difference in
that the top table will be filled with Remploy workers present and past. They will
tell you, the audience, their stories. How working in Remploy gives them
self-esteem and a sense of being part of a greater work community.
Comrade,
please come along to Faraday House, 48-51 Old Gloucester Street, Holborn,
London, WC1N 3AE - it's opposite Unite the Union's office car park.
In
the struggle
Seán
McGovern
Secretary
of Unite's L&E 1971 Remploy Branch
