Workfare is a
government scheme in which unemployed people are bullied into working
for their Jobseekers' Allowance benefits. People on the Workfare
scheme are forced to stack shelves for up to 30 hours a week, working
out to an hourly wage of just £1.60.
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. It affects all of us by
reducing jobs and giving employers the green light to cut hours and
reduce wages.
In response to a
growing movement of opposition to the Workfare scheme, a number of
companies have quit the programme, while the government has released
a steady stream of untruths. So join the movement!
