Posted on | October 19, 2009 | 1 Comment

Manchester University Students Union, Steve Biko Building, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PR, rooms MR1 and MR2 (google map)
Saturday 14th November
Arrive 11.30am for 12 noon start. Finish 5.30pm.

The aims:

1. stop the implementation of the welfare reform (abolition) bill
2. build a network of solidarity between claimants
3. create links between unemployed workers and workers in the PCS

The day:

1. Share information
2. Plan a national action
3. Build a strategy and work out how we can co-ordinate nationally

The Welfare Reform Bill is a massive attack on the disabled, single parents, unemployed workers and workers in the Department for Work and Pensions and we cannot allow it to be implemented.
14th November is a chance for welfare and disability rights activists, members of unemployed workers’ groups and trade unionists to get together, build links of solidarity and plan our struggle. If you are organising against welfare abolition or want to start doing so, please make sure people from your group come along.

We say to the government and the bosses, we do not exist for your benefit!

Free lunch will be provided.
