(en) Britain, Solidarity Federation SLSF take to the streets of Lewisham in anti-workfare demo

Workfare Boycott workfare picket South London demonstrations Know your rights ---- On 
Saturday South London Solfed's roaming anti-workfare picket targeted businesses on 
Lewisham High Street exploiting unpaid labour. ---- Despite autumn choosing Saturday to 
finally arrive, a determined group took to the streets in support of Boycott Workfare's 
week of action. Marks & Spencer, Primark and Poundworld were all picketed, as well as 
Iceland who have reportedly signed up to the new 'Help To Work' scheme, the newest and 
most punitive version of workfare yet, involving six months' unpaid traineeships. 
Information leaflets were distributed to the public, including know your rights advice for 
those facing workfare placements. Despite the rain there were plenty of positive responses.

Boycott Workfare's week of action continues until 12th October. There is a list of actions 
here. Keep an eye on their website for online actions being announced throughout the week.

The fight back is growing. Let's make workfare unworkable!
