Demonstrate 19/03/2015 vs benefit sanctions

From Unite the Union Community Section


More and more people are facing benefit sanctions. Over 2 million people have had

their money stopped in the past 2 years. 2 million people, many of whom

have been plunged into poverty, unable to heat their homes or even eat. 

How is this meant to help prepare people for work?


Benefit sanctions must be fought against


These sanctions are cruel and handed out for ridiculous reasons such as:
  • Arriving minutes late to a meeting 
  • Not applying for jobs when waiting to start a new job!
  • Missing an appointment on the day of the funeral of a close family member.
This has to stop
Up and down the country on Thursday 19 March we will be protesting against the
cruel use of sanctions.
