Week of Action against workfare 8th Dec – Charities stop exploiting ...
reposter | 28.11.2012 19:04 | Workfare | Social Struggles
Many companies and charities have pulled out of the government’s workfare schemes when met with pickets and direct action that put these exploitative schemes in the spotlight.
But charities including British Heart Foundation, Scope and Barnardos and many companies like Poundland, Argos and Superdrug still subscribe to schemes which force the unemployed to “work for their benefits”. That’s why Boycott Workfare network are calling A Week of Action against Workfare, focusing especially on the charities involved.
You are urged to join the action which starts on Saturday, December 8th!

For every person who'se put off because we're demoing a charity, there are more who will feel empowered as they see our efforts pay off.
Yeah, we should go for the multinationals, but only when we stand a better chance of winning.
Also, just because a charity is a charity, that doesn't make everything it does above scrutiny or criticism.

back to macdonalds, and other multinationals

but it annoys me to see multinationals getting an easy ride during the current economic crisis.
