Britain is threatened with the destruction of our railway engineering industry as the government awards its £1.4 billion Thameslink rolling stock contract to the German transnational Siemens, rather than to Canadian transnational Bombardier, which operates the privatised remains of the once mighty British Rail Engineering in Derby.
The "ripple effects" of the destruction of 1,400 Bombardier jobs will be disastrous in Derby and the Midlands, with a further 13,000 subcontractor and supply chain jobs likely to go.

On 16 June, 35 Palestinian workers at Salit Quarries in Mishor Adumim (in area C, east of Jerusalem, in the Occupied West Bank) began a strike. The workers, organized with the independent union WAC-Ma'an, are demanding an end to exploitation and humiliation, and insist on signing a first collective agreement. Salit Quarries’ main customer is Readymix Industries (Israel).
The total reliance of Salit Quarry on Readymix as their biggest and by far the most important customer puts responsibility on Readymix to make sure that their clients abides by labour laws and safeguards elementary rights for the workers of Salit. We call upon Readymix to urge the Salit management to terminate this unnecessary strike by signing the collective agreement with the workers and WAC-Ma’an.
