In the letter published today, seven key figures involved in the famous work-in have made clear that a Yes vote offers a "stronger, brighter future" for the shipbuilding industry – compared to Westminster’s legacy of job losses and yard closures over the last thirty years.
The shipyard veterans also condemned the No campaign’s scare stories on shipbuilding - making clear that after a Yes vote Scottish shipyards could continue to build ships ordered by Westminster as well as building Type 26 frigates for use by an independent Scotland.
Mr. McMillan said:
"These key figures from the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders work-in are backing independence is a real boost for the Yes campaign – and shows the No camp’s claims on shipbuilding are just more of the usual Project Fear scaremongering.
"The fact is that the expertise and experience of our workforce mean Scottish shipyards are the best place to build the next generation of ships – and our shipbuilding industry has a bright future after a Yes vote."
