Ann Summers's abuse of employees

Jonathan Handforth | 27-06-2006 16:33 | Workers' Movements | Sheffield

Ann Summers have been engaging in harrassment of their employees, accusing them of owing money which they do not, threatening them with litigation via credit agencies, and ultimately bailiffs.

RIP Matilda

A few folk have written about MATILDA and what it meant to them so here are my thoughts.

Sheffield Indymedia's "Summer of Truth" Film Festival

Sheffield Indymedia has organised a series of film screenings that challange the concept of the perputal 'war on terror' and questions the real motives of the governments and corporations who are promoting this war.

These films have never been seen on TV or screened in the cinema.

One of the central themes of many of the films is the proposition that the attacks in New York and Washington on 11th September 2001 were actually an inside job organised by elements within the US administration in order to win public support for an offensive war to gain control of oil resources in the Middle East.

The films are screening every Sunday evening in July at SIF (Sheffield Independent Film) on Brown Street, entry is a suggested donation of £1 and there will be time for discussion about the issues raised in the films after each screening.

The titles, times and further information about the screenings follow, there is more details on the Sheffield Indymedia web site including links to download many of the films:

The films were due to be screened at the Matilda Social Centre but have had to be moved to SIF due to the eviction, more details on this story:

Matilda in Court: some feedback from the case

On Thursday 22nd June Yorkshire Forward took 30 persons unknown who had established a social centre in 111 Matilda Street to the County Court for Trespass. In hearing the case you actually dared to hope at one point that there might be some kind of outcome in Matilda's favour. But as ever the judge sided with the property owners regardless of the arguments put forward and legal technicalities raised. I wasn't able to get notes down of all the arguments made, but hopefully the bits I can recall will give you a small flavour of the case.

Dear Jan Wilson,

Yorkshire Forward - Surveyors Witness Statement

Pathfinder exposed by Corporate Watch

John Prescott's government department may have vanished, but the wrecking ball he has set in motion is still poised to demolish thousands of homes across Northern England and the Midlands - there's far too much money involved to let this one go.

Keep MATILDA Alive!

In the last twelve months, MATILDA have turned an abandoned building into a thriving social centre. For a year we have put on performances, film showings and exhibitions, as well as providing much needed working and meeting space for local artists and activists.

This week, we are fighting eviction and will be demonstrating outside court to support those inside.

MATILDA needs your support too! The court case will be heard on:
