[07] Rights for All Workers
--------

Unity the Union of Asylum seekers has called before to be given the
Right to Work. "We are not here to claim benefits". All of us, no matter
where we were born, are stronger if they work together to resist
exploitation.

For this and many more reasons, UNITY will be at the Trade Union
Council's May Day event as part of an International Block, standing
alongside workers no matter what their immigration status. We have more
in common than dividing us, No One is Illegal.

Sunday 6th May, 11:00am at George Square
