Benefits Offices Workers On Strike Today

Reblogged from samedifference1:


I’ve just heard Mark Serwotka on BBC 5 Live saying workers from our ‘benefits offices’ are going on strike tomorrow, along with people from many other professions.

All the striking workers are hoping to improve their ‘living standards.

DWP workers: What about the living standards of benefit claimants, like the one who wrote to a Facebook group worried about the strike affecting their money coming through, because they are due to get paid tomorrow?

Will those due to sign on tomorrow be sanctioned, because you want your living standards to improve?

How many of you care that when you go on strike, you leave sick, vulnerable people extremely worried, possibly starving?
