AS many as 1,000 people have walked out of a £250m North-East biofuel plant this morning in support of workers sacked this morning at a Lincolnshire refinery.
Workers at the Ensus plant at Wilton, near Redcar, are staging a protest in backing of the 900 people at the Lindsey refinery who were this morning sacked by plant owner Total after staging unofficial strike action over 51 redundancies.
More than 1,000 people also walked out of Ensus - which is still under construction - earlier this year as part of a series of national wildcat strikes in protest over foreign contract labour.
