The protestors from the Climate Camp campaign group and the RMT union say they will stay on the roof of the Cowes blade technology plant until 11 workers who have been fired by Vestas for taking part in a two week protest against the closure of the Newport and Southampton plants are reinstated. The protest has been organised to gain maximum publicity as it coincides with the Isle of Wight sailing week, protestors said.
