[OccupySheffield] Stop McWorkfare. No to Slave Labour.

[Mick Ibbotson]

I disagree, McDonalds are a poster boy organisation for this scheme of exploiting the unemployed. The manager of the store yesterday, thanked us for being peaceful but never said they weren't involved in the scheme. They may not currently have any placements currently - but nationally they have many people being forced into working for less than the going rate and as the protest on wednesday is a national one - hopefully see some of you there then?

  Just to be aware; We spoke to the dep manager of the McDonalds near the cathedral.  He assured us that that branch is not involved in workfare but they are not a franchise.  They are part of McDonalds company.  We protested there last Weds.

  It would be good if we could identify shops that are actually involved in the scheme.  Anyone like to go and ask a few managers ?  Its almost as effective as a protest; letting managers know that we are planning possible protests at their shop !

    Stop the government's attacks on young unemployed people - 
    end the slave labour schemes in McDonald's!

    The most recent scheme from the ConDems to 'get Britain back to work' is to take away benefits from anyone who refuses to take part in unpaid work for companies such as McDonald's, Boots, Primark and many others. The government insists that this would provide 'work experience' for lazy youths a...nd workshy teenagers - the reality is that these schemes provide slave labour for large multinational companies, which will be used to undermine the wages and conditions of those already working in those companies, with no incentive whatsoever to provide employment to young people. 

    Join us at 5pm on Monday at McDonald's for a protest against McWorkfare - we will be handing letters to staff explaining how workfare will affect them, giving leaflets to members of the public to raise awareness of this dreadful scheme, as well as making some noise to make the management well aware of our disgust.
     
    If you're working in a paid job why not pop down after work and support those are aren't being paid for their work?
