Lobby your MP and get her or him to sign "Early Day Motion" 1925, put down by John McDonnell MP in support of the Vestas workers.
That this House expresses its concern that, at the very time when the Government is launching its drive for developing renewable energy sources in the UK, the Vestas company, specialising in renewable energy plant, is shedding 600 jobs and is closing; and calls on the Government to intervene as a matter of urgency to ensure the future of the Vestas operation and the protection of jobs.
If the MP is Labour, contact local Labour Party activists and Labour-affiliated unions, and urge them to take the same stand as the Isle of Wight Labour Party, back the Vestas workers, and put pressure on their MP.
Some MPs can certainly be added to the current signatures, since they have already sent messages of support to savevestas.wordpress.com
