What the petition asks
Please utilise unemployed British contractors to construct the new £452m MARS tanker and utilise British steel. The use of Chinese steel should not be used on this construction, British steel only!
The British government has failed to uphold its loyalty with its people by allowing this process to go ahead. 1700 people unemployed from SSI Redcar due to competitive Chinese steel and now the government decide to use this steel which unemployed an enormous amount of individuals, to construct a BRITISH ship in a foreign country giving foreign individuals the BRITISH work. We must now reeducate and support these unemployed British workers whilst we just hand over £452m to South Korea
