Workers began to realize that only by supporting the Vilvoorde workers could we protect our own jobs." El Madkour, who was born in Morocco and has attended demonstrations in support of undocumented workers in France, was only recently hired by Renault.

Much more interesting were the two Nohabs (5307 and 5320) which arrived at Gent already attached to the coaches and were to be the main power for the day, an excellent choice which enabled at least two people to clear the class.
Once everybody had got their “master shot” it was back onto the train and head for Brussels through the intermittent rain showers, we were lucky that the rain stopped or was only very light at all of our stops, especially the one outside the tunnel.
As we went past the depot there were no class 23’s in sight, 2606 was standing open which would be nice, but as the two Nohabs prepared to return to the shed, 2351 appeared round the corner.

'"the management and employees of Renault Vilvoorde are in no way to blame for this decision which was not taken on the basis of productivity, compensation costs, quality or the dedication of managers or employees."'
The fact that Renault did not announce the closure or even its possibility in advance, let alone negotiate with union and/or government representatives, has left a sour taste in the mouths of everyone involved.
They both criticised the obvious lack of communication by top Renault management and expressed their serious concern over the social consequences of the closure for thousands of families.
