Fighting Temporary Work Week.
This year, as every year, that parasitic front organisation for the promotion of temporary work over permanent worthwhile labour, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), is planning to name one lucky worker as “One in a million”. This is as a part of their self-style National Temporary Worker’s Week.
This year, as every year, that parasitic front organisation for the promotion of temporary work over permanent worthwhile labour, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), is planning to name one lucky worker as “One in a million”. This is as a part of their self-style National Temporary Worker’s Week.
While this blessed worker is bestowed with this honour, what will the nations other 999,999 temporary workers be doing? Probably what they do every other day of the year. Wonder if they will have work next week, speculate if joining a union will get them the sack, guess how much the permanent worker alongside them earns, or contemplate how to bring about a fairer way manage the economy.
In opposition to the REC and National Temporary Worker’s Week, Bristol Against Casualisation Campaign is proposing a week of counter events.
Fighting Temporary Work Week.
National Picket of Employment Agencies. 17th – 21st May 2004.
Choose your target agency. In Bristol we are planning to picket Manpower offices but go for your least favourite agency and make them know we are fighting back.
Cider and Pork Scratching Reception (veggie option available). 20th May 2004-03-03
While the agency bosses gather quaff champagne, nibble canapés on the riverside Terrace at the House of Commons and discuss how to screw that extra penny out of our hard labours. We are calling on all those against casualisation to gather to express your anger at their greed on Parliament Square at 4.00pm . No more death, poor pay and worsening work conditions.
Fight Temporary Work – One-day conference. 10.45 am. 22nd May 2004 (Free admission) Easton Community Centre, Bristol.
To be held in Bristol, a forum for those engaged in fighting casualisation to discuss strategies and build alliances. The agencies work together to shape the world to their advantage.
