500 million bricks to go Print E-mail
By Socialist Appeal   
Thursday, 15 January 2009

They’re laying people off at all the big brickworks. Hanson has axed 600 staff, mothballed two plants, closed another two permanently and are cutting shifts or having a three month holiday at the remaining four. Meanwhile world leader Wienerberger has made 400 permanent redundancies. No wonder. Hanson alone has 500 million bricks stockpiled. We’ve got the bricks, we’ve got the unemployed building workers – but we can’t put the two together to build the houses people need. That’s capitalism.
