* Take action with claimants at Hackney Job Centres - meet Thursday 2 July 12pm * at Cafe Bohemia (under the railway arches by Hackney Central)
Claimants at the job centre demand:
1. We are treated with respect and dignity when we are using the Job Centre. There are 37 claimants to every job in Hackney: being unemployed is not our fault and we do not enjoy being treated as we’ve done something wrong
2. More care be taken with our claims and a receipt be issued when we submit documents. Too many of our documents have been lost too many times.
3. There be a maximum time-limit of two weeks between signing on and getting our benefits. Too many of us have been made to wait for more than six weeks with no income while our claims have been processed. If this deadline is missed then emergency payments should automatically be given.
And more! Come and offer your solidarity and ensure that job centre management know that our campaign is growing!
