Calling all unemployed!
Cambs Unemployed | 13.09.2009 15:49 | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Cambridge
Unemployed people in Cambridge need a fighting union to resist attacks by the government like the Welfare Reform Bill and the humiliating New Deal schemes.
UWU Flyer
It’s time there was a union for unemployed workers in Cambridge. By organising together we can fight for respect, improved welfare benefits, and good jobs and apprenticeships for all.
The state know that unemployment is increasing as the economic crisis deepens. Youth unemployment is particularly high, with many people leaving education unable to find work. The state is attacking the unemployed with a new bill called the National Welfare Reform Bill which will make life harder for the jobless and those who are either unable to work such as the disabled or need assistance like single parents. While bankers and corporate fat cats are getting bailed out by the government and walking away with big bonuses, working-class people are being attacked on all fronts. The only way we can fight back is by organising together and building solidarity within the working-class between those of us with jobs and those of us on benefits.
If you are interested and would like to become involved in setting up an Unemployed Workers Union in Cambridge please contact us on details below.

If you have childcare needs, it shouldn't be a problem bring your kids! (Kid friendly meeting!) Bring friends, relatives, anyone interested whether unemployed or not -- this is about building solidarity and awareness.
cheers
