Make Workfare Redundant – Leeds Unemployment Action Group Protest

On the 8th of December Leeds Unemployment Action Group took part in a national protest against companies and charities involved in workfare. We headed onto the streets of Leeds protesting outside various charities like the British Heart Foundation and Scope to companies like Shoe Zone. Talking to members of the public we raised awareness around how exploitative Workfare is not just for the unemployed but those in paid work as well.

Boycott Workfare’s week of action continues today with demonstrations in Kings Lynn, Brighton, York and Staines.
