JOIN members last week decided to opppose the closure of Manvers Main coking plant which the NCB intends to shut down.
Labour MP for Dearne Valley Eddie Wainwright has said he will support the fight to save the 600 jobs at the plant.

They voted unanimously to fight the closure which would also affect other local workers who depend on coal gas from the plant for their own jobs.
