The offer is conditional on the pickets in Enfield and Basildon, and the occupation in Belfast being finished - but the workers are quite rightly refusing to finish their action until the money is in their bank account or they have the offer in writing - essential given the amount of agreements Fords and Visteon have reneged on in the past.<br />So please continue to do collections - people are still in grave danger of getting their homes repossessed apart from needing money to pay bills and survive day to day - visit the picket lines if you can and do solidarity actions. <a href="http://libcom.org/tags/visteon-occupation">Get more info on what you can do.</a><br /><br /><strong>Full listing for Reel News 18:</strong><br /><br />1) Visteon workers - fighting for us all (Reel News/Luke Allen) 25:00<br />600 ex-Ford workers at Visteon auto-parts factories are sacked with 6 minutes notice without redundancy pay.
