Power station protest continues
Published: 14:11, 18 March 2009
About 150 protesters gathered at the gates of Staythorpe Power Station today.
A group of 20 jobless Glaswegians who travelled by coach to Staythorpe last night were among those who joined the protest.
UK workers say construction jobs at the new £660m gas-fired power station are going to foreign labour.
Unemployed shop steward Kevin Gough, of Christopher Crescent, Balderton, said: "We’re disappointed to still be having to come here but there’s no sign of Alstom opening the doors to UK labour."
Alstom denies discrimination in employment.
