The group emerged out of talks around precarious conditions of work and life and resistance to them and want to bring this discussion into the protest against the G8. On the 4<SUP>th</SUP> of July, they propose a mobile party in central <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Edinburgh</st1:City></st1:place> that will “visit” places like job centres, bailiffs, agencies involved in the New Deal and the benefit regime, companies exploiting casual and migrant labour
and end up in a shopping area.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They also plan actions in Brighton and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Bristol</st1:City></st1:place> to mark the employment ministers’ summit.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>There are also other actions the group though about during the Anti-G8 protests which were discussed in the Working Group like piquetero-style roadblocks and blockades, free shops, occupations and activities of mass self-reduction. Some of these actions have never been tried before in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1:place> and the Working group was sceptical whether the days around the G8 were the right time to do them for the first time because the atmosphere will probably be very tense.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>The same problem would probably occur with other forms of actions we discussed like YoMango-Dinners (“organised food” which is distributed in form of a big dinner for everyone) or “for-free”-actions as done in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region></st1:place> – demanding and actively seeking free entrance to museums, swimming pools and public transport.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>We were also discussing that any action around this theme of precarity should try to involve the people who are most concerned like people working in call centres or migrants. We came to the conclusion that although it is difficult it should be tried to do actions like the ones described above with an outreach-attitude to people working and living under precarious conditions- whose numbers grow every day! It’s very important to include the idea of resistance against those conditions with mass actions that are fun and colourful because this is where one of the outcomes of G8 politics becomes visible in everyday life.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
