It is very important to support the cleaners at this crucial moment: UK racist immigration laws are being used to crush the cleaners' successful struggle. Three cleaners have been deported, and the employers are carrying out checks on many others: hundreds have received letters sayin their National Insurance number may not be correct.Christian Rodrigue Mbianga / Captured Again

Hamburg: Precarious Superheroes in Court?
06-10-2008 20:19
In April 2006, about 30 precarious superheroes took delicatessen from a gourmet supermarket in the German City of Hamburg and distributed them to people who could use them. They also left an invitation for the upcoming EuroMayDay Parade.
The action worked not only as a circulation of luxury goods, but also as a media stunt. The police didn't like it at all and tried to catch the superheroes with lots of vans and a helicopter – in vain [report en]. Some hints as to why the state might think that these superheroes are so dangerous can be found here.
After a house search, the cops thought they had found one of the activists who participated in the action and convicted her in court, based on a perceived similarity between her and a photo of one of the masked superheroes. She appealed, and this Wednesday, she will be in court again. This time, the prosecution based the accusation on the fact that they found documents on her laptop dealing with “precarization”. If this is enough for criminalisation, the main service trade union in Germany must be regarded as criminal, as well as lots of academics and researchers who have been working on the issue of precarity for more than a decade. Let alone Euromayday groups in more than 20 european countries.
Read on for the press release of Euromayday Hamburg, who are supporting the activist in court:
