TODAY Saturday energy workers, factory workers, retail workers, trade unionists and the wider Fife community will march together to demand investment and jobs in Fife.
They will be joined by politicians across parties, including the leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn MP, Cardenden and Kinglassie MPPeter Grant MP (SNP), Annette Drylie and Benarty man Tam Kirby (Fife Trades Council), co-leader of Fife Council, David Alexander (SNP) and Claire Baker MSP (Labour).
Tam Kirby said: "Fife faces many challenges including the loss of jobs at the furniture makers Havelock, attacks on pay at whisky firm Diageo and a lack of work in the Bifab fabrication yards in Methil and Burntisland.
"Fife urgently needs a plan to bring and retain decent jobs. With a climate emergency having been declared but a lack of work in the Bifab renewables yards, now more than ever action is needed to deliver good quality renewable jobs".
The march is being organised by Fife Trades Council with the support of STUC. The march will meet at 11am and march off at 11.30am from Kirkcaldy Town Square. This will be followed by a rally at the Old Kirk (Kirk Wynd, Kirkcaldy KY1 1EH).
