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.<br>
<br>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 !<br>

</b></font><br> 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<span>...</span><span>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. <br>
<br> 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.</span></div>
