LIVE

Details

That the Parliament celebrates what it sees as the courageous stance taken by workers at the Caterpillar Plant in Tannochside who staged a 103-day occupation in defence of jobs, beginning on 14 January 1987; recognises the support given to the occupation by the labour and trades union movement across the UK and internationally; regrets the decision of the company to seek an eviction notice from the courts; notes that this action by the workers resulted in improved pay-offs for the workforce, and believes that this occupation serves as a reminder of the value of workers standing together in the common interest against corporate greed.
