We, the undersigned, call on our elected representatives to press the Government to :
- Get rid of the Work Capability Assessment
- Get rid of Workfare
- End the sanctions regime
- Increase social security payments based on people’s needs
- Outlaw zero hours contracts
- Create permanent jobs on trade union rates of pay, through investment in renewable energy projects, house building, public transport and caring services
Why is this important?
We consider these measures necessary to alleviate the suffering imposed on some of the poorest members of our society by some of the richest.
