There are 37 claimants for every new job in Hackney. Being unemployed isn’t our fault and we’re sick of being treated like we’ve done something wrong when we’re using the Jobcentre.
We believe that by coming together and standing up for eachother we can get the rights we are so often denied when we’re claiming what is rightfully ours.
Get in touch at hackneyunemployedworkers@gmail.com or on 02072476101 or 07932241737 if you want to get involved or come to one of our meetings.
We have meetings every Thursday at 12pm in Cafe Bohemia, which is just up the road from Mare Street Jobcentre. The address is 2 Bohemia Place Mare Street Hackney E8. It’s just off Mare Street, opposite Hackney Central.
We have strength in numbers. Let’s use it.

Am finding signing on difficult as I have health needs . . there is a Green Jobs Fair coming up on Saturday 21 November – think I noticed it in The Metro but not clear where it is!
I’ve just spent a day hearing about Green survival methods to cut corners to meet bills. Hope to bump into you a Thursday lunchtime.

Horrified by a glimpse of ‘Benefit Busters’ documentary – eg, a medically-untrained ‘advisor’, ie, a bullying cow (on £2k a month), mauling a young man’s injured back. Taking people off Incapacity, only for them, justly, to win at appeal is a waste of money.
