The government is running scared of protests over workfare. They've been to court to try and keep the names of workfare exploiters from being published because they're scared that protests will cause the whole scheme to collapse. If we keep the pressure on, we can turn their fears into reality.
On Saturday June 1st, Unite Community members will be paying a visit to a workfare exploiter to let them know what we think of forced unpaid work, and we'd like you to join us. We'll be meeting up at 1pm outside the Town Hall, just off Fargate, before moving off.

"The evidence the government submitted reveals what a huge impact your actions have had. They argued:
“The activities of campaign groups and the results of negative publicity meant that… “a great many placement organisations” had ceased to offer placements. That in turn reduced the numbers of opportunities available across both programmes with a loss of many placements and prospective new placements being at risk.”"
