Packed meeting pledges to fight Coryton refinery closures
19 June
Following the announcement of the
closure of Coryton refinery a determined campaign by the workers
has been fought.
As part of helping this fight the
NSSN jointly hosted a solidarity meeting alongside Coryton
workers.
The response was excellent with
over 100 workers and their supporters filling the room to over
flowing. Here are some pictures from last night's meeting. A
fuller report will follow later.
