Coventry City Council Bombs on TV over Stingy £3 Cuts

Paul Tovey

BBC Midlands Today have run the Coventry Story about the swingeing cuts of £3k + ref the recycling charity CROW on Teatime TV...

Nina Jones reported :

Barbara Cowling for the Charity has written to all the Councillors in the Coventry Council protesting about the cuts .

Two Service Users on camera spoke up to BBC about their feelings and were unhappy about the situation ..

Councillor Noonan when interviewed put forward the argument that the cuts of £3 a day to the 'workers' was also a measure to help them become independent workers.

Please Help Support the Pledge

The Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Trust runs a commercial garden centre staffed by people with disabilities & recently cut the Â£3 a day payments to these workers and now expects them to work for nothing. SABP has 179 people engaged in similar what it calls ' therapeutic work ' across its various work schemes.
We are campaigning to see that SABP's disabled workers at least get the national minimum wage or if they are on benefits paid at the appropriate permitted work rules rates.

We are also appalled that Surrey & Borders has treated its disabled workers in this way while claiming that its services are User Friendly.

This uncaring 'professional' attitude towards and exploitation of disabled workers isnt just happening in Surrey, it appears to be part of wider DWP and NIMHE policy . Please use the Action Links below to support the campaign and let other people know what is going on.
