Save Bombardier: what you can do now

At last night's public meeting at Bombardier the following action points were circulated. Supporters of the campaign were asked to pass them on and help build a community tidal wave of support for the Bombardier workers fighting for their jobs and for the future of train manufacturing in Britain.

Together, we can save Bombardier.
