Liverpool Uncut and Liverpool Solidarity Federation have had an ongoing campaign against the exploitative Workfare scheme for over a month now.

On Saturday 5th May, we are coming together to stage a UKuncut style action against workfare providers in Liverpool.

Workfare is the name given to several government schemes in which those on benefits are forced to work up to 30 hour weeks if they wish to keep their benefits - essentially stacking shelves or doing admin for just a couple of quid an hour!

The scheme does not help people into work, nor does it create jobs. In fact, positions in paid jobs are being filled by those pushed into the Workfare schemes because it is cheaper than paying staff. It is a clear attack on the unemployed and working class, and for this reason must be stopped.

Workfare providers include Tesco, Holland & Barrett and Pizza Hut. A list of all providers can be found here: boycottworkfare.org/?page_id=16
