Unite has secured the help of Blue State Digital, the team behind Barak Obama's Presidential win to help save jobs at Diageo in Scotland.
Blue State Digital ran Barak Obama's highly successful online campaign and have been described as the best web-based campaigners in the world by former Government Minister Des Browne.
Browne said: "When I was in Washington in January for the inauguration, I spent half a day with them and I was even more impressed when I saw how they did it, never mind what they did. The Johnnie Walker workers need the best support they can get and these people are the best. I was delighted when they agreed to put together a campaign to internationalise the message of support.
Georgina Cunningham, a Unite shop steward at the Kilmarnock plant, said it was "fantastic news". "We will fight to the bitter end to save our livelihoods and our heritage. The workers aren't sleeping or eating. They are having panic attacks and being forced to go to their doctors for medication. Yet the ruthless management continue to show no compassion."
