Boycott Workfare - UK

See the whole story here

Boycott Workfare is a UK-wide campaign to end forced unpaid work for people who receive welfare. Workfare profits the rich by providing free labour, whilst threatening the poor by taking away welfare rights if people refuse to work without a living wage. We expose and take action against companies and organisations profiting from workfare; encourage organisations to pledge to boycott it; and actively inform people of their rights.

Take part in the Boycott Workfare Day of Action on 3rd March! Pay a visit to the nasty companies still profiting from workfare on your high street! More info.

Tens of thousands of unemployed people made to work without pay
