<font size="3">Local people like yourself have fought a tireless campaign against the government's 'work experience' forced labour schemes, forcing the withdrawal of many large multinational companies who were profiting from them. The five schemes, including Mandatory Work Activity and the Community Action Programme, were all compulsory schemes. If benefit recipients do not work 35-hour weeks on these schemes, then they have their £57/wk dole money stopped - this is equivalent to £1.78 an hour, with people being given no little or no training, sent to stack shelves in Tesco or flip burgers in McDonalds.<br><br>Join our protest tour in Sheffield as part of the national day of action against workfare - we have already stopped one of the five schemes, so we can finish off the rest. </font><BR><font size="3"></font> <BR><font size="3">The government can bail out the banks to the tune of £1trillion (£1,000,000,000,000), but it cannot provide decent jobs on decent pay for the youth and the unemployed - we must fight for jobs and education. Whilst George Osborne proclaims further attacks on the working people of Britain from Westminster on budget day, we'll be out on the streets to make his slave labour schemes unworkable...<br><br>Join us on 21 March, 4pm at Cathedral Square, Church St, Sheffield for a flying picket tour of the businesses profiting from the forced labour of the unemployed. </font><BR><br><a href="http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/actions/853"><font size="3">http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/actions/853</font></a><br><BR><p align="left"><font style="font-size: 16pt;" size="4">Sheffield Uncut <br></font><br> <a href="http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/blog/austerity-isnt-working" target="_blank"><img style="width: 56.48%; height: 252px;" src="http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/images/austerity-isnt-working.png" height="343"></a><br><br><br></p><div class="ecxblocky"><span style="font-size: 1.8em; float: left;"> <font size="2">UK Uncut is a grassroots movement taking action to highlight </font><a class="ecxred ecxhover" href="http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/about/cuts" target="_blank"><font size="2">alternatives to the government's spending cuts</font></a></span><br style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: 1.8em; margin-left: 1em; float: left;"><font size="2"> To keep up to date, follow us on </font><font size="2"><font size="2"><font size="2"><a class="ecxblue ecxhover" href="http://www.facebook.com/ukuncut" target="_blank"><font size="2">Facebook</font></a></font></font></font><font size="2"> and </font><a class="ecxblue ecxhover" href="http://www.twitter.com/ukuncut" target="_blank"><font size="2">Twitter</font></a></span><span style="font-size: 1.2em; float: left;"><font size="2"> You can also </font><a class="ecxgreen ecxhover" href="http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/accounts/new" target="_blank"><font size="2">sign up</font></a><font size="2"> to receive emails when someone lists an action near you </font></span><br> <br><br></div> </div></body>
