Boycott Workfare picket
start:
Sat, 31/01/2015 - 12:00
Location
Mustard Tree
110 Oldham Rd, Ancoats
M4 6AG
Manchester
See map: Google Maps
Following an initial picket in December, a meeting with Mustard Tree's Chair of Trustees has not yet been arranged due to apparent difficulties on their part. Whether or not this is a stalling strategy, they have been sent an explanation of what is wrong with Workfare and why a charity - particularly one that works with the homeless - should have nothing to do with it. Saturday 31/1 is a further protest to build on the previous one which clearly ruffled the shop manager.

Communications Blockade of Manpower - Thursday 29 January
We are calling a communications blockade against Manpower employment agency who our Polish sister section is in dispute with. See details here and don’t forget to call and email.
The action has been called as part of a week of action in support of our sister section, the Polish ZSP, who are involved in taking action within two Polish Amazon dispatch centres that Manpower hires workers for. The workers in these centres are paid 1/4 of the wage of workers in Germany carrying out the same job, are denied paid breaks during 10 hour shifts and receive no extra pay for working evenings and weekends. In addition there have been a series of late or incorrect payments from Manpower whilst pay varies between different centres and between directly employed and agency workers.

From Brighton SF "..comrades & friends gathered around a 'Free Anarchist Prisoners' banner at a central Brighton landmark, handing out the dedicated flyer and an article written for the occasion. Around 20 attended in a good atmosphere while a busker provided music!"
From Bristol SF "Around 20 people marched to the Bristol International Brigades memorial Plaque in Castle Park for the event."
Protests also took place by Edinburgh SF (see previous article) and Belfast SF - as well as many more around the world.

On 16/12/2014 the Mossos, Catalan police stormed 14 homes and community centers, destroying and stealing everything they could find of value. Without making any specific accusations and acting in complete secrecy, 11 anarchists were transferred to the National Court in Madrid. 4 were released two days later - and 7 have ended up in prison, one is a member of the CNT-AIT Union. They are all facing secretive Court proceedings.
