THE FIGHT GOES ON!
The Visteon workers ended their occupation on Saturday but the fight goes on. There is a 24 picket outside the factory with caravans, gazebos and barbecues providing a good base. Visteon directors are flying to London for talks on Tuesday.
Solidarity continues to pour in – several collections of £50-60 came in on Saturday and a collection was organised outside the Spurs home game. A delegation spoke at the NUT conference to huge applause and a massive collection. Two Ford showrooms faced protest actions over the weekend. This fight is far from over!
On Tuesday at 6.30am the administrators have called 17 Visteon employees to come back to the factory. They are expected to start dismantling machines prior to shipping them out. To stop this the workers have called for a mass picket on Tuesday morning from 6.00am. This is important, please make every effort to be there.

Until now, the besieged Gaza Strip has stayed free of the novel coronavirus spreading across the world. As the Gaza Strip has been under a stringent Israeli-led blockade for nearly 13 years, the spread of the coronavirus - officially known as COVID-19 - has become the topic of discussion for many Palestinians, with some joking that the blockade was preventing them from being exposed.But as authorities in the coastal Palestinian enclave gear up to contain any potential outbreak, serious questions have arisen about the risks and implications of such a scenario. But given its already difficult humanitarian situation and high population density, an outbreak in the Gaza Strip could prove to be catastrophic, health officials have warned. "If the virus enters Gaza and spreads, it will get out of hand," Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson Majdi Thuhair told Middle East Eye, as he explained that a severe shortage of resources and personnel would make it near impossible
