Pay Up! pickets Sainsbury's over employment poverty wages - London, 28.05.2012
Formed by activists from UK Uncut, Occupy, Unite the Union and community organisations, Pay Up!, which plans to go national as quickly as possible, chose Sainsbury's to launch their campaign against "employment poverty" which sees thousands of Sainsbury's shop-floor employees being paid only the UK minimum wage which amounts to £6.08p per hour for over-21s, £4.98p for 18-20s and £3.68p for 16-17 yrs old school leavers. These employees, say Pay Up, should be receiving the nationally recognised "Living Wage" of £7.20 per hour in the regions, and £8.30p in London.
Sainsbury's has seen profit's rise 299% over the past 7 years, whilst their workers on low pay have been forced to accept a pay freeze which, in the face of current inflation, is effectively a wage cut, and a huge number of Sainsbury's full and part-time staff are having to apply for housing benefits and other benefits just to survive, despite the retail grocery giant posting year-end profits for 2011 of £712 million - a 7% increase on 2010, despite the double-dip recession.
It is outrageous, say Pay Up, that some Sainsbury's employees are so badly paid that they are forced to drain the benefits system just to survive, whilst Sainsbury's are turning a huge profit and are planning to increase core spending in 2012-2013 to £1bn and also to increase payouts to their stockholders. The company boasted disingenuously last week that their employees "will receive on average a £600 bonus", which translates to as little as £49 for many employees who are denied enough working hours to sustain a basic living. The overwhelming bulk of the bonus pot will go to the already-well paid managers and directors.

Political artist Kaya Mar lampoons George Osborne on the Treasury Steps - London
On 04/10/2011 Political anti-War and anti-Cuts artist Kaya Mar displayed one of his many politically satirical oil on canvas caricatures lampooning dictators, war-mongers and heads of state - in this instance a naked George Gideon Osborne, (Chancellor of the Exchequer, architect of the swingeing austerity cuts to public services) naked, exposed, with one foot clumsily jammed in a large mop bucket as he claims to be cleaning up someone else's mess - as he held a brief one-man vigil on the steps of The Treasury, hoping that George Osborne might exit the building, catch sight of the painting and throw in the towel.
Mr. Mar's presence caused a bit of a panic and a flap amongst Treasury staff who were clearly alarmed that his painting could rapidly bring down the entire government, so he was told to get off the steps and stand on the pavement instead, thus safeguarding Her majesty's Brittanic Government from satirical peril.
There were no arrests, although a passing elderly American tourist muttered "Oh my, now THAT's disrespectful", before taking a photo of the painting, with a big grin on her face. Another man muttered something darkly about abolishing all money and waved a pamphlet around before vanishing across the road and into St. James' Park, but despite this flagrant act of sedition there was still no sign of a police van.
Kaya's work can be seen at www.kayamar.co.uk, which is in the process of being re-designed - and is on permanent display at the Museum of London and the Imperial War Museum.

DPAC takes coffin full of messages to ATOS HQ - 29.08.2012
As the rest of the country waited for the evening's Paralympic Games opening ceremony to begin, activists from DPAC, WinVisible and the Direct Action Network (DAN) delivered a coffin to the doors of ATOS Origin's Headquarters, with messages from the relatives and loved one of sick and disabled people who have been through the French IT company's much-reviled Work Capability Assessment and who were all taken off the benefits which made their lives both possible and bearable, and who all died or committed suicide shortly afterwards.

Three witnesses gave very different accounts of the incident: he punched a guard, the guards misinterpreter a movement of his arm, or the guards grabbed him unfairly and he tried pulling away. A crowd gathered, with lots of arguing about his innocence or guilt since most didn't see what happened, and weren't sure which witness to believe. The guards said nothing and looked scared and frustrated.
I worked at the McCormick Bridgehouse and Chicago River Museum over 2 years ago. I know, you've never heard of it. That's a good thing because it's not that great. We had no visitors and nothing to do. The only excitement was watching the boats and dancing suit man, Vincent P. Falk.
The museum is only open during the summer, so one of our last days we decided to actually go to the lower part of the bridge and talk to this interesting man.
After we talked to him, we let him inside our museum. He's legally blind so I don't know what he could see. The interesting part of the museum is to see the bridge gears. Then he talked to our security guard. Why have a guard when there is nothing to protect? No money, no priceless objects, nothing except the stench of lower Wacker.

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.
