NO TO COMPULSORY
“WORK-FOR-YOUR-BENEFITS” SCHEMES
DEMONSTRATE IN EDINBURGH
MEET 12 NOON SATURDAY 3RD MARCH
HUNTER SQUARE, off SOUTH BRIDGE
We will be demonstrating at Companies exploiting free slave labour....as part of a UK-wide day of action
More and more people are opposing the Government's compulsory "work-for-your-benefits" schemes such as the Work Programme. Sainsbury’s, Waterstones, TK Maxx, Marie Curie, and Oxfam have all pulled out of the schemes within the last few days. Now we say to those companies and charities still involved in this rip-off – stop now!
This “workfare” makes millions for multinational fraudsters like A4e who supply the free labour to employers.
Workfare undermines the pay and conditions of all workers.
Workfare punishes the unemployed, when the real cause of unemployment is the chaotic profit system.
LET'S MAKE WORKFARE UNWORKABLE!
We plan to continue action till workfare is stopped. Meet 4pm Mon 5 March at ACE, 17 W Montgomery Place EH7 5HA to plan action for Sat 10 March.
We already know some of the employers using workfare here, but if you know of companies or charities in Edinburgh participating in the workfare schemes please do let us know.
