Portsmouth BAE shipyard cuts protest rally planned 8 November 2013 Last updated at 11:10 Campaigners protesting against the end of shipbuilding at BAE's yard at Portsmouth are to stage a rally. More than 900 jobs are to be cut by the firm in the city, with a total of 835 further losses across sites in Glasgow, Rosyth, and Filton. Jon Woods, from Portsmouth Trades Council, said: "It's appalling news - it's simply not acceptable, there will be a fight and I think we will win." BAE's decision comes after aircraft carrier construction work ended. Demonstrators will meet in Commercial Road at 13:00 BST on Saturday. Think again Mr Woods said the campaign was being staged to put BAE and the government under pressure to keep the shipyard jobs. He added: "I think most of the city is in a state of shock. We want to ensure that the shipyard stays open and we firmly believe that not a single job should be lost. There's very short-term thinking going on here - we think we can force them to think again. A protest march is also planned through the city a week later.
