Eleven staff at Vestas who are taking part in the occupation at the wind turbine blade factory on the Isle of Wight have been sacked according to news reports.
Vestas says it had sacked 11 employees who it had identified as being inside the office.
Mike, one of the workers, said that dismissal letters - telling them they had lost their jobs and their redundancy packages - were delivered with their evening meal - a slice of pizza.
He said: "We're obviously disappointed but we kind of expected this. It's not going to deter us and we're not going to leave. We're not doing this for us now, we're doing this for everybody else."
On Wednesday, the company will make an application at Newport County Court for a possession order to remove the protestors from the factory.
