Rail ticket offices to be cut

05-09-2011 13:53

In the midst of mechanisation and cutbacks, more and more people face losing their jobs to a machine. Banks are increasingly cutting enquiry/customer-services-based jobs as they roll out more and more cash points and automated helpdesks. Big business companies and corporations are using new technologies to streamline their operations, reaping profits for directors and shareholders at the expense of frontline staff.

Today the Transport Salaried Staff's Association, a transport workers' union, announced that 675 rail station ticket offices will be closed. These offices will be replaced by ticket machines.

3,000 march to demand: Give Our Kids A Future!

14-08-2011 11:59

On Saturday 13th August, 3,000 people of all ages and backgrounds, mainly from Hackney and Haringey, but with additional support from all around London, marched from Gillet Square, Dalston in Hackney, to Tottenham Green in Haringey. The march was organised and publicised just 2 days before by the hastily formed North London Unity Assembly initiated mainly by Turkish organisations and the Haringey and Hackney Anti-cuts Alliances [see list of some of the supporters at the end].

The aim was to provide a united community response to the recent disturbances, especially those in Tottenham and Hackney, and to the causes of despair and frustration that can result in riots. The march was led all the way by a dozen children behind a huge 'Give Our Kids A Future!' banner, followed by a mass of placards and banners from a wide range of community groups, trades union branches and political organisations as well as hand-crafted placards from scores of individuals.
