The government’s economic plans, from cutting pensions and sacking public sector workers, through to forcing the disabled into the labour market and the unemployed to work for their benefits, are all part of one programme. The goal is to have more and more people, working longer and longer and competing for fewer and fewer jobs. This will drive down wages and allow bosses to gain greater profits. The fight against benefit cuts is therefore the same as the fight of public sector workers, so Brighton Benefits Campaign supports the strike and calls for everyone to show solidarity on November 30th.
