Stop G4S: Protest Their Annual General Meeting Thursday 6th June

g4s-workfare

Welfare-to-work thieves G4S will be holding their AGM in Central London on June 6th. Join the protest outside, supported by Boycott Workfare.
From the Stop G4S website:

The last twelve months have seen G4S voted third ‘Worst Company of the Year’ in the global Public Eye awards, they also face a UK parliamentary inquiry into their disastrous handling of an asylum housing contract and will soon give evidence at the inquest into the death of Jimmy Mubenga who died while being restrained by G4S staff. Not that you would know it from the self-congratulatory tone of G4S’ latest Corporate Responsibility Report.

Across Europe, G4S are becoming a pariah company as trade unions, charities and faith-groups take a public stand in opposing its drive to put private profit above human rights.

Organisations in the Middle East have called for a boycott of G4S due to their complicity with Israel’s repression and detention of Palestinians including children.

On June 6th the company returns to the City of London for its annual corporate jamboree.

Stop G4S campaign is calling for a (Europe-wide) demonstration of outrage as G4Scongratulate themselves on another year of profiteering at the expense of human dignity.

Bring banners, flags and drums; bring yourself and your friends. Refuse to be taken in by their whitewashing of abuses, join us at the AGM to hold G4S to account.

Meet Thursday June 6th 2013 from 1pm
Salters’ Hall, 4 Fore Street, London, EC2Y 5DE
