Electing to Tackle Unemployment
Unemployment is now a very serious long term employment here in Ireland and the unemployed need all the help and support that they can get. If you are unemployed are if you are about to become redundant I strongly advise that you contact the INOU
Today, the Irish National Organisation of the Unemployed launched its Election Manifesto. The manifesto, which has been sent to all prospective TDs and outlines the INOU’s priorities for the next government in three key areas – Jobs, Services for Unemployed People and Social Welfare. The manifesto also poses four key questions for candidates standing in the next election:
1. What will you do to tackle unemployment?
2. Will you reverse the cuts made to Jobseekers Allowance and Benefit?
3. How will you improve services to unemployed people?
4. What will you do to create decent jobs?
Speaking at the launch, INOU Chairperson, Ann Fergus said that ‘it is imperative that tackling unemployment is an absolute priority for the next government. Investment in jobs, in education and training and other supports and programmes for unemployed people is critical if unemployment is to properly addressed. Unemployed people need to be given hope of a chance of a job and a future here in Ireland for themselves and their families.”
“It is also imperative that the incomes of people who rely on social welfare are protected as tens of thousands of people are struggling on a daily basis to make ends meet” Ann concluded.

You will also find a grid highlighting what the different parties have to say about jobs and social protection.
Today the INOU has also published a review of where unemployment policy is at in light of Budget 2011, the EU/IMF Financial Assistance documentation and the National Recovery Plan which can be downloaded from their website.

DPAC & UK Uncut hold ATOS Closing Ceremony - 31.08.2012
As the Grand Finale to a week-long national campaign of protests against French IT company ATOS Origin and its spinoff ATOS Healthcare which carries out the much-criticised Wirk Capability Assessments on behalf of the DWP, which has seen tens of thousands of severely sick and disabled people declared to be "Fit for Work" and thrown off their disability benefits, several hundred activists from DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), WinVisible, Disabled Activists' Network, UK Uncut, Right to Work Campaign, Unite the Union, the GMB Union, Occupy London and the National UNion of Students descended on ATOS' London headquarters to carry out what they had billed as the "ATOS Closing Ceremony" - a reference to ATOS' hugely derided sponsorship of the Paralympic Games which is, say the activists, an act of spectatular cynicism by a corporation which is currently contracted by the Cameron government to the tune of £100 million to conduct the much-feared medical assessments without any reference whatsoever to peoples' medical notes of histories.
For two hours the crowd chanted slogans, listened to oral testimonies from people whose lives have been badly affected by ATOS decisions, heard accounts of people driven into such despair by dealing with ATOS that they have comitted suicide, and also heard many accounts of seriously ill people thrown off their benefits by ATOS who have been forced to look for work - having been declared fit for work - and who have died shortly afterwards. The list of people irreperably harmed by ATOS' computer-driven tick-box assessment which cannot possibly take into account the huge range of physical and mental disabilities seems endless.
Following some dogged Freedom of Information requests by two Daily Mirror journalists earlier this year it is now known that an average of 32 sickness or disability benefit claimnants who have been thrown off their benefits by the DWP following an ATOS zero-point rating and placed in the Work-Related Activity Group or who have been put on Jobseeker's Allowance have died shortly afterwards. In many instances relatives of the deceased have claimed that the stress of being treated in such an inhumane way by ATOS contributed to their deaths.
During the protest at Triton Square the 500-strong crowd were entertained by a street theatre performance which saw a fraudulent "ATOS Miracle Cure" booth set up. The "ATOS Reverend" would lay hands on a disabled person and tell them that "by the power of ATOS you are no longer disabled", and sent them through the ATOS Miracle Cure arch, but sadly once through the arch the disabled people realised they had been tricked and they were still, of course, disabled... but worse was to come, as each disabled person was then confronted by an "ATOS Doctor" who stated that because they were now officially no longer disabled and were fit for work they could now be assigned to do their dream jobs, to which end the phoney doctor handed each person a sheet of paper on which was written "100 meter runner", "Bar Tender", "Mountain Climber" and other completely unsuitable job titles.
At around 2:30pm a section of the crowd took off and headed for Westminster where they picketed outside the Department for Work and Pensions, during which an over-agressive action by the police resulted in a disabled man's shoulder being broken as he was knocked off his wheelchair when police shoved protesters into him.

A group of Fixers, concerned by the level of unemployment in Cornwall, are creating a unique ‘top trumps’ campaign to raise the profile of young jobseekers.
Lead Fixer Kate Rogers (19) and her friends are all currently unemployed and all feel embarrassed to be relying on jobseekers allowance benefits to get by.
The group from Liskeard, Cornwall, are concerned that employers are not taking youth unemployment seriously, and do not realise how difficult it is to secure employment.
By producing an eye-catching CV pack with Fixers - including unique ‘top trump’ cards displaying their picture and expertise – the group hope to simplify the recruitment process for employers and show them straight away exactly why they should get the job.

Workfare protest at Salvation Army International HQ - 18.03.2013
On 18th March 2013 a small group of activists from campaign group Boycott Workfare descended on the Salvation Army International HQ and peacefully protested in the entrance foyer against the organisation's use of unpaid coerced labour supplied - under the threat of up to three years' sanctions and complete loss of all benefits - by the DWP.
The protesters note that the Archbishop of York Dr. John Sentamu said publicly several months ago that Workfare is immoral and should be stopped, and BoycottWorkfare say it is gross hypocrisy that a religious charity claiming to support the oppressed should benefit from coerced and exploited labour, especially when it is proven that the policy of forcing unemployed people to work for nothing directly affects the wages and working hours of the already employed, driving wages down and forcing more people to claim housing benefit and tax credits as they are unable to survive on their reduced wages.
The protesters made great use of several biblical quotes to demonstrate what they claim is the Salvation Army's hypocrisy, especially Jeremiah 22:13 "Woe to him that useth his neighbour's services without wages" and Luke 10:7 "The labourer is worthy of his hire".
Some time after the small number of photojournalists including myself had left the protest a Major from the Salvation Army met the protesters and expressed shock and surprise to hear that the UK branch of the organisation was using workfare labour in Salvation Army charity shops. Explaining that the International organisation has nothning to do with UK employment practices the Major said the protesters were very welcome to stay on the premises of the International headquarters until closing, but also invited them to go to the Salvation Army UK Headquarters in South London to discuss the matter.
The protesters duly accepted the Major's invitation and went to the UK HQ, whereupon they were set upon by members of staff who demanded the protesters hand over their mobile phones and cameras, physically jostled them, then forcibly prevented any protesters from leaving and simultaneously accusing them of trespass. One protester managed to escape the false imprisonment only to be arrested by police, having been falsely accused of assault by Salvation Army UK staff members - none of whom apparently announced they were security staff, as they are supposed to do if they are in fact security staff.
Soon afterwards the police, having assessed the situation and observing that the protesters were being falsely imprisoned realised that the claims made by the Salvation Army staff were completely false, they de-arrested the protester and ordered the Salvation Army staff release the other protesters, having first explained to the Salvation Army employees that false imprisonment is a criminal act.
Because of the extraordinary behaviour meted out to the protesters today Boycott Workfare groups have called for a day of online action against the Salvation Army UK in response to these events. More details can be found at www.boycottworkfare.org

Vigil as House of Lords debates Welfare Reform Bill: London, 11.01.2012
Activists from the Zacchaeus 2000 Trust (Z2KT) and Single Mothers Self-Defence (SMSD) lobbied the House of Lords and held a vigil in Old Palace Yard opposite the Lords' Entrance on 11.01.2012 as the House of Lords gave its last reading and debate of the governement's Welfare Reform Bill and Benefit caps before it passes into law. The campaigners are extremely anxious about this bill which, if passed as is, will see hundreds of thousands of children, the sick and the disabled, plunged into inescapable poverty and homelessness from which many of them will never emerge.
The Welfare Reform Bill introduces Universal Credit to replace existing benefits including income-based Jobseeker's Allowance; income-related Employment and Support Allowance; Income Support; Housing Benefit; Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit. The Bill also makes provision for the Personal Independence Payment which will replace the existing Disability Living Allowance for over-16s.
The Zacchaeus 2000 Trust specialises in helping vulnerable debtors to gain justice from unfair systems and campaigns on a wide range of issues surrounding poverty, and the Single Mothers Self-Defence is a network of single mothers campaigning against benefit cuts and policies forcing single mothers on benefits to take on unwaged work.
The protesters were joined by political artist Kaya Mar, who showed his latest painting which portrays Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip on their uppers in a poverty-stricken Britain. The Queen holds two magazines promoting her Diamond Jubilee celebrations this year which will cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds and will lose many more millions of lose work hours to the economy than did the one-day strike on Nov 30th 2011!

DPAC & UK Uncut hold ATOS Closing Ceremony - 31.08.2012
As the Grand Finale to a week-long national campaign of protests against French IT company ATOS Origin and its spinoff ATOS Healthcare which carries out the much-criticised Wirk Capability Assessments on behalf of the DWP, which has seen tens of thousands of severely sick and disabled people declared to be "Fit for Work" and thrown off their disability benefits, several hundred activists from DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), WinVisible, Disabled Activists' Network, UK Uncut, Right to Work Campaign, Unite the Union, the GMB Union, Occupy London and the National UNion of Students descended on ATOS' London headquarters to carry out what they had billed as the "ATOS Closing Ceremony" - a reference to ATOS' hugely derided sponsorship of the Paralympic Games which is, say the activists, an act of spectatular cynicism by a corporation which is currently contracted by the Cameron government to the tune of £100 million to conduct the much-feared medical assessments without any reference whatsoever to peoples' medical notes of histories.
For two hours the crowd chanted slogans, listened to oral testimonies from people whose lives have been badly affected by ATOS decisions, heard accounts of people driven into such despair by dealing with ATOS that they have comitted suicide, and also heard many accounts of seriously ill people thrown off their benefits by ATOS who have been forced to look for work - having been declared fit for work - and who have died shortly afterwards. The list of people irreperably harmed by ATOS' computer-driven tick-box assessment which cannot possibly take into account the huge range of physical and mental disabilities seems endless.
Following some dogged Freedom of Information requests by two Daily Mirror journalists earlier this year it is now known that an average of 32 sickness or disability benefit claimnants who have been thrown off their benefits by the DWP following an ATOS zero-point rating and placed in the Work-Related Activity Group or who have been put on Jobseeker's Allowance have died shortly afterwards. In many instances relatives of the deceased have claimed that the stress of being treated in such an inhumane way by ATOS contributed to their deaths.
During the protest at Triton Square the 500-strong crowd were entertained by a street theatre performance which saw a fraudulent "ATOS Miracle Cure" booth set up. The "ATOS Reverend" would lay hands on a disabled person and tell them that "by the power of ATOS you are no longer disabled", and sent them through the ATOS Miracle Cure arch, but sadly once through the arch the disabled people realised they had been tricked and they were still, of course, disabled... but worse was to come, as each disabled person was then confronted by an "ATOS Doctor" who stated that because they were now officially no longer disabled and were fit for work they could now be assigned to do their dream jobs, to which end the phoney doctor handed each person a sheet of paper on which was written "100 meter runner", "Bar Tender", "Mountain Climber" and other completely unsuitable job titles.
At around 2:30pm a section of the crowd took off and headed for Westminster where they picketed outside the Department for Work and Pensions, during which an over-agressive action by the police resulted in a disabled man's shoulder being broken as he was knocked off his wheelchair when police shoved protesters into him.

Vigil as House of Lords debates Welfare Reform Bill: London, 11.01.2012
Activists from the Zacchaeus 2000 Trust (Z2KT) and Single Mothers Self-Defence (SMSD) lobbied the House of Lords and held a vigil in Old Palace Yard opposite the Lords' Entrance on 11.01.2012 as the House of Lords gave its last reading and debate of the governement's Welfare Reform Bill and Benefit caps before it passes into law. The campaigners are extremely anxious about this bill which, if passed as is, will see hundreds of thousands of children, the sick and the disabled, plunged into inescapable poverty and homelessness from which many of them will never emerge.
The Welfare Reform Bill introduces Universal Credit to replace existing benefits including income-based Jobseeker's Allowance; income-related Employment and Support Allowance; Income Support; Housing Benefit; Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit. The Bill also makes provision for the Personal Independence Payment which will replace the existing Disability Living Allowance for over-16s.
The Zacchaeus 2000 Trust specialises in helping vulnerable debtors to gain justice from unfair systems and campaigns on a wide range of issues surrounding poverty, and the Single Mothers Self-Defence is a network of single mothers campaigning against benefit cuts and policies forcing single mothers on benefits to take on unwaged work.
The protesters were joined by political artist Kaya Mar, who showed his latest painting which portrays Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip on their uppers in a poverty-stricken Britain. The Queen holds two magazines promoting her Diamond Jubilee celebrations this year which will cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds and will lose many more millions of lose work hours to the economy than did the one-day strike on Nov 30th 2011!

Workfare protest at Salvation Army International HQ - 18.03.2013
On 18th March 2013 a small group of activists from campaign group Boycott Workfare descended on the Salvation Army International HQ and peacefully protested in the entrance foyer against the organisation's use of unpaid coerced labour supplied - under the threat of up to three years' sanctions and complete loss of all benefits - by the DWP.
The protesters note that the Archbishop of York Dr. John Sentamu said publicly several months ago that Workfare is immoral and should be stopped, and BoycottWorkfare say it is gross hypocrisy that a religious charity claiming to support the oppressed should benefit from coerced and exploited labour, especially when it is proven that the policy of forcing unemployed people to work for nothing directly affects the wages and working hours of the already employed, driving wages down and forcing more people to claim housing benefit and tax credits as they are unable to survive on their reduced wages.
The protesters made great use of several biblical quotes to demonstrate what they claim is the Salvation Army's hypocrisy, especially Jeremiah 22:13 "Woe to him that useth his neighbour's services without wages" and Luke 10:7 "The labourer is worthy of his hire".
Some time after the small number of photojournalists including myself had left the protest a Major from the Salvation Army met the protesters and expressed shock and surprise to hear that the UK branch of the organisation was using workfare labour in Salvation Army charity shops. Explaining that the International organisation has nothning to do with UK employment practices the Major said the protesters were very welcome to stay on the premises of the International headquarters until closing, but also invited them to go to the Salvation Army UK Headquarters in South London to discuss the matter.
The protesters duly accepted the Major's invitation and went to the UK HQ, whereupon they were set upon by members of staff who demanded the protesters hand over their mobile phones and cameras, physically jostled them, then forcibly prevented any protesters from leaving and simultaneously accusing them of trespass. One protester managed to escape the false imprisonment only to be arrested by police, having been falsely accused of assault by Salvation Army UK staff members - none of whom apparently announced they were security staff, as they are supposed to do if they are in fact security staff.
Soon afterwards the police, having assessed the situation and observing that the protesters were being falsely imprisoned realised that the claims made by the Salvation Army staff were completely false, they de-arrested the protester and ordered the Salvation Army staff release the other protesters, having first explained to the Salvation Army employees that false imprisonment is a criminal act.
Because of the extraordinary behaviour meted out to the protesters today Boycott Workfare groups have called for a day of online action against the Salvation Army UK in response to these events. More details can be found at www.boycottworkfare.org

National Supported Employment Week to raise profile of employment for people with disabilities
Ireland, Tuesday April 23rd 2013: Presenter Ray D’Arcy and celebrity chef Neven Maguire officially marked the sixth annual Job Shadow Day, taking place today Wednesday 24th, together with the Irish Association for Supported Employment (IASE). The highlight of IASE National Supported Employment Week, Job Shadow Day sees hundreds of individuals with disabilities throughout Ireland take the opportunity to shadow a workplace mentor as he or she goes through a normal working day. Hundreds of employers throughout Ireland are involved.
A number of high profile individuals are taking part in Job Shadow Day, joining Ray D’Arcy and Neven Maguire to include: An Taoiseach Enda Kenny; Minister Joan Burton; RTÉ’s Derek Mooney; Kildare senior football manager Kieran Mc Geeney; Minister Leo Varadker; presenter and journalist Brendan O’Connor; Prime Time’s Richard Crowley; Senator David Norris and adventurer Mark Pollock.
Job Shadow Day is designed to give people with disabilities a unique opportunity to get a close up look at the world of work for one day or one week in April each year to discover and learn about the skills and education required to compete and succeed in the work place.
IASE Chairperson Teresa Mallon commented: “The response from employers across the country, both private and public sector, has once again been absolutely fantastic. What we are seeing here today is a huge number of businesses and people with disabilities coming together to send out a really clear message that they want an inclusive society where everyone has the right to work, to express their ability and to contribute and take part fully in Irish society.”
IrishJobs.ie, Ireland’s number one recruitment website, is once again one of the main sponsors of National Supported Employment Week and the Job Shadow initiative.
Jane Lorigan, CEO Europe of Saongroup.com and MD of IrishJobs.ie said: “We are delighted to be participating in Job Shadow Day again this year. Here at IrishJobs.ie, we believe in an accessible and inclusive workplace. We hope that by participating in initiatives like Job Shadow Day, employers will have the opportunity to see the valuable contribution that an individual with a disability can make to an organization and the positive impact it can have on everyone involved.”
During IASE National Supported Employment Week (22nd to 28th April), Supported Employment organisations, jobseekers and employers showcase employment for people with disabilities with a variety of themed events, seminars and a national publicity campaign raising awareness of employment for people with disabilities.
This June, Ireland is set to become a world leader in the advancement of supporting people with disabilities and other marginalized groups into jobs when the IASE hosts a major international conference on disability and employment.

I guess it's a sign of the times that people have to do things like this now.
I saw him during my lunch break and, Inspired by my oldest brother who is currently taking a photo of a stranger every day in October, I plucked up the courage to ask if I could take his photo. Don't think I could do that every day though.
I hope he's managed to find a job (but not sure the wording he's chosen will really help him mind...).

Summary: After perfecting your resume in all respects, you must be happy when getting the opportunity to attend an interview. What should you pay attention to in an interview? What should you do to leave the interviewers a good impression? Here are some tips for you.
usdsaving.com/series/Job-Seekers-101---Manners-in-an-Inte...
Mind the time
Once you make an appointment with the interviewers, you should be five or ten minutes earlier to show your sincerity. It’s a good idea to visit the place of the interview the day before, so that you will not be late because of the unfamiliar route. If you arrive ahead of time, you can do some preparation for the following interview. Make sure that you are confident, enthusiastic and optimistic.
Be patient when waiting
You should remind yourself that the interviewers there may be your future co-workers; they are easy to get along with. Don’t walk outside the office back and forth, or sit on the chair fretfully when other candidates are having the interviews. You can prepare your self-introduction, or make sure the answer to the questions the interviewees may ask you.
Make a good self-introduction
Usually, the interviewers will ask you to make a brief self-introduction as the beginning of the interview. Self-introduction is very important in the interview; it tells the interviewers your basic information and how you look at yourself. It’s better to have some prepared notes in your mind before the interview. Be confident when speaking; mind your body language as well. Your self-introduction should not be too long. It’s wise to keep your speaking in three to five minutes.
Answer their questions in order
In the interview, the interviewers may ask you some questions. Answer their questions one by one. Your answer should be logical and easy to understand. Don’t say too much about one question. Remember, your answer must be faithful. Do not cheat in the interview. You need to control your face expression, your voice and your gesture.
Show your interest to the job and the company
When the interviewers introduce some basic information about the company and the job, you should show great interest. Listen to them carefully, you can nod or ask some questions to show that you are really listening to what they say. Do not interpret the interviewers when they are speaking. You can show your interest about the company and the job, and express your hope to work in the company in the interview.
Be great in appearance
Besides the tips above, you also should pay attention to your appearance. You should wear formal suit instead of jeans or other casual wear. Don’t stay up late. Good sleep will make you look much vigor. It’s good to keep yourself smile. However, do not smile exaggeratedly. Exaggerate smile makes people look stupid.

Fast, new bus link to i54 business park
Jobseekers and workers at i54 South Staffordshire are set for a major boost this weekend (Sunday January 26) with the launch of faster and more convenient bus services to the business park.
The new circular 25A and 25C services will slash the existing journey time between Wolverhampton city centre and i54 from 38 minutes to just 18.
They will also provide bus links from The Scotlands, Wednesfield, Willenhall, Bilston and Goldthorn Park to the business park where hundreds of jobs are being created.
The new services are the result of a partnership deal between transport authority Centro, bus operator National Express West Midlands and the i54 transport steering group.
Centro’s vice chair, Cllr Kath Hartley, said: “There will be significant job opportunities coming on stream at i54 but it’s vital we have quick, convenient and affordable public transport links to the business park so that everyone has a chance to fill those jobs.
“I believe the new services we are putting in place with National Express West Midlands and the steering group will provide exactly what is needed.”
The new 25A (anti-clockwise) and 25C (clockwise) will replace the existing 25, 25a and 26. There will be no change to the evening and Sunday 26A service from Wolverhampton to Stowlawn.
They will operate every 30 minutes during the day-time Monday to Saturday and every hour in the evenings and on Sundays. The timetables have also been designed to co-ordinate with i54 shift-work patterns where ever possible.

The title of oldest house in the United States of America built by a European is controversially claimed by the owners of a structure located at 215 East De Vargas Street on the eastern side of Old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe, New Mexico within the Barrio De Analco Historic District. The house was supposedly built around 1646. The house has been through the administration of numerous governments including the Spanish, Mexican, Territorial, statehood. Many ghost stories, including tales of ghostly apparitions, are associated with the structure.
There are several houses listed on the Oldest buildings in America page that are older than 1646. For example, the Fairbanks House in Dedham, Massachusetts was built in 1636 and the Henry Whitfield House, in Guilford, Connecticut, was built in 1639.
Another edifice which claims to be the oldest house extant in the United States is the Gonzalez-Alvarez House on St. Francis Street in St. Augustine, Florida. It was supposedly built by the Spanish around 1564; if this claim is accurate, it is the older of the two buildings. However, a signboard outside the house says the house was built "soon after the English burned St. Augustine in 1702".

Vigil as House of Lords debates Welfare Reform Bill: London, 11.01.2012
Activists from the Zacchaeus 2000 Trust (Z2KT) and Single Mothers Self-Defence (SMSD) lobbied the House of Lords and held a vigil in Old Palace Yard opposite the Lords' Entrance on 11.01.2012 as the House of Lords gave its last reading and debate of the governement's Welfare Reform Bill and Benefit caps before it passes into law. The campaigners are extremely anxious about this bill which, if passed as is, will see hundreds of thousands of children, the sick and the disabled, plunged into inescapable poverty and homelessness from which many of them will never emerge.
The Welfare Reform Bill introduces Universal Credit to replace existing benefits including income-based Jobseeker's Allowance; income-related Employment and Support Allowance; Income Support; Housing Benefit; Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit. The Bill also makes provision for the Personal Independence Payment which will replace the existing Disability Living Allowance for over-16s.
The Zacchaeus 2000 Trust specialises in helping vulnerable debtors to gain justice from unfair systems and campaigns on a wide range of issues surrounding poverty, and the Single Mothers Self-Defence is a network of single mothers campaigning against benefit cuts and policies forcing single mothers on benefits to take on unwaged work.
The protesters were joined by political artist Kaya Mar, who showed his latest painting which portrays Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip on their uppers in a poverty-stricken Britain.

DPAC & UK Uncut hold ATOS Closing Ceremony - 31.08.2012
As the Grand Finale to a week-long national campaign of protests against French IT company ATOS Origin and its spinoff ATOS Healthcare which carries out the much-criticised Wirk Capability Assessments on behalf of the DWP, which has seen tens of thousands of severely sick and disabled people declared to be "Fit for Work" and thrown off their disability benefits, several hundred activists from DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), WinVisible, Disabled Activists' Network, UK Uncut, Right to Work Campaign, Unite the Union, the GMB Union, Occupy London and the National UNion of Students descended on ATOS' London headquarters to carry out what they had billed as the "ATOS Closing Ceremony" - a reference to ATOS' hugely derided sponsorship of the Paralympic Games which is, say the activists, an act of spectatular cynicism by a corporation which is currently contracted by the Cameron government to the tune of £100 million to conduct the much-feared medical assessments without any reference whatsoever to peoples' medical notes of histories.
For two hours the crowd chanted slogans, listened to oral testimonies from people whose lives have been badly affected by ATOS decisions, heard accounts of people driven into such despair by dealing with ATOS that they have comitted suicide, and also heard many accounts of seriously ill people thrown off their benefits by ATOS who have been forced to look for work - having been declared fit for work - and who have died shortly afterwards. The list of people irreperably harmed by ATOS' computer-driven tick-box assessment which cannot possibly take into account the huge range of physical and mental disabilities seems endless.
Following some dogged Freedom of Information requests by two Daily Mirror journalists earlier this year it is now known that an average of 32 sickness or disability benefit claimnants who have been thrown off their benefits by the DWP following an ATOS zero-point rating and placed in the Work-Related Activity Group or who have been put on Jobseeker's Allowance have died shortly afterwards. In many instances relatives of the deceased have claimed that the stress of being treated in such an inhumane way by ATOS contributed to their deaths.
During the protest at Triton Square the 500-strong crowd were entertained by a street theatre performance which saw a fraudulent "ATOS Miracle Cure" booth set up. The "ATOS Reverend" would lay hands on a disabled person and tell them that "by the power of ATOS you are no longer disabled", and sent them through the ATOS Miracle Cure arch, but sadly once through the arch the disabled people realised they had been tricked and they were still, of course, disabled... but worse was to come, as each disabled person was then confronted by an "ATOS Doctor" who stated that because they were now officially no longer disabled and were fit for work they could now be assigned to do their dream jobs, to which end the phoney doctor handed each person a sheet of paper on which was written "100 meter runner", "Bar Tender", "Mountain Climber" and other completely unsuitable job titles.
At around 2:30pm a section of the crowd took off and headed for Westminster where they picketed outside the Department for Work and Pensions, during which an over-agressive action by the police resulted in a disabled man's shoulder being broken as he was knocked off his wheelchair when police shoved protesters into him.

Thousands of people have been helped into work and training in Nottingham in the last year, thanks to Nottingham City Council and its partners.
The total of 4,809 includes 2,300 local residents who were helped into employment and 915 young people into apprenticeships supported through the council’s Nottingham Jobs Hub. Since April 2016, 830 unemployed 16-29 year olds have benefitted from the Nottingham Works programme.
Nottingham continues to be ranked first out of the eight English Core Cities for the percentage of 16 and 17 year olds who are not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET). Of the 2,728 sixteen year olds who completed school Year 11 this summer:
96.63 per cent (2636) went into further education, employment and training
2.82 per cent (77) are NEET (not in education, employment or training)
0.55 per cent (15) are ‘not known.’
Overall, Nottingham has seen the biggest fall in unemployment of any of England’s Core Cities, according to latest figures.
Unemployment in Nottingham City fell by 2.9% last month and by 6% in the last 12 months. Places like Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle all saw unemployment increase. Figures for the wider ‘primary urban area’ of Nottingham show unemployment fell by 2.6% last month and 4% over the year, the second biggest annual decline after Liverpool.
Councillor Sam Webster, Portfolio Holder for Education, Employment and Skills at Nottingham City Council, said: “The latest reduction in unemployment is very positive. Nottingham City Council is leading the way and doing things differently to make a real change and these figures show that our approach is working. We are determined to deliver on our specific pledge to guarantee a job, apprenticeship or training place for every 18-24 year old in Nottingham City.
“We have set out our clear commitment to making sure the people of Nottingham have first access to jobs, training and apprenticeships. Our message is simple. There is some support for everyone. The role our partner organisations play is also important to achieving this goal. And with the help of local businesses we can continue to create more opportunities for local people.”
Nottingham Jobs is just one of the ways the council is doing things differently. Nottingham City Council, Job Centre and Futures Advice are working closely together. It is, in part this joint initiative that is delivering real results by reducing unemployment in the city.
One project under the Nottingham Jobs banner is the national award-winning and pioneering project, Nottingham Works. The £6.9m European Social Fund-backed initiative supports young people aged 16-29 years old who are at risk of social exclusion because they have little or no prospect of getting a job. It includes a package of intensive careers support, Traineeships, and grants to encourage employers to create vacancies for those who might otherwise struggle to get into work.
Under this project there are different schemes, including Step Into Work, which has six centres across Nottingham where people can access to skills training, advice and guidance, work related qualifications, job searches and work experience and voluntary work. There are also traineeship programmes, where young people can receive a weekly allowance to participate in a pre-traineeship programme to ensure they are able to commit to and succeed on a full programme.
The Futures Advice, Skills and Employment scheme offer a range of support for young people aged 16-29 including intensive careers support, Nottingham Jobs Fund and traineeships. The national award winning scheme is for those who face the biggest barriers getting into employment, while Nottingham Jobs Fund Plus (NJF+) is designed to support employers to create year-long jobs for people aged 18 to 24, who are considered to be at risk or involved in gang activity, ex-offenders, or those who have been unemployed for a least 26 weeks.
Nottingham City Council is committed to creating apprenticeships and, in the New Year will be recruiting a further 50 new apprentices for a range of roles. The council also supports local businesses by offering grants to create apprenticeship opportunities.
Jobs Fairs are important for job seekers to meet with recruiters. The city council support a number throughout the year including:
The annual Jobs Fair at the Motorpoint Arena which attracted over 3,000 jobseekers and 100 employers
Futures’ What Next careers and opportunities event which, this year, attracted over 5000 young people and their families to explore future options
The Nottingham North annual jobs fair, which was attended by over 500 people, who met with over 40 local employers and training providers.
Reducing unemployment in the city is one of the key themes of the Nottingham Plan to 2020. The plan sets the overall strategic direction and long-term vision for the economic, social and environmental well-being of Nottingham. The plan was launched in 2009 and these latest employment figures are just one of the many successes achieved as part of the Nottingham Plan.
One Nottingham, which produced the plan in partnership with the council, and its Chair Jane Todd said: “It’s so encouraging to see how much we have achieved on the Nottingham Plan over the years. 2015/16 has been a successful year, especially for the city’s commitment to getting local people into jobs or training. The Nottingham Plan to 2020 is a long term vision and I hope that successes continue to show in Nottingham.”
