Hundreds of Visteon workers here were all sacked with no redundancy and no pension - they have now occupied two of their three factories (one was evicted by police). They have now won negotiations with Visteon International management in New York City, which are taking place today, Wednesday 8 April at 10 am.
Location of the meeting in NYC is at Kirkland and Ellis at 153 53rd St entrance at plaza level meeting on 50floor conference centre.
So please forward this round lists, indymedias, to anyone in the area who might be able to get down there, and if anyone does make it please take some photos to show the workers here!
Full information about the occupation can be found at www.visteonoccupation.org
