Hackney Unemployed Workers group for the Defend Welfare network's
national day of action. We will be outside Working Links on Mare
Street, exposing the private company that makes money while letting
us down. Working Links does not work! We are forced to do pointless
job searches, we are not given the training we want, and even when
they find us jobs, they are temporary, low-paid and don't reflect our
interests. </font></font>

Coalition Government is talking about more use of private companies
like this to “help us into work” (work that doesn't exist: there
are 43 JSA claimants for every job in Hackney). They want to penalise
us into work, when their cuts mean there are even fewer jobs to go
around. </span></font></font>

are in the air: job cuts, welfare cuts, wage cuts. But we want to put
our alternative to the new Secretary of State. Forcing people to
work for their benefits reduces the number of jobs, making people
redundant does too, and wasting money on private companies like
Working Links gets us nowhere. We want a fair benefit system that
recognises our right to live - not just to survive!</font></font></p>
