Righting Welfare Wrongs: Dispatches and Analysis From the Front Line of the Fight Against Austerity

£10.00

This 300 page book by the Scottish Unemployed Workers’ Network has been forged through grassroots activism by and with people at the sharp end of ‘welfare reform’. It illuminates everyday battles to maintain human dignity and even existance in the face of the new punitive welfare state. It is about solidarity and mutual support, but it is also about understanding and taking on the bigger politics behind this brave new world of coercion and control.

*Shipping Note:

Although we try our best to provide our supporters with a great shopping experience, let’s face it: we are not commercial retailers. Our operations and facilities are limited and we cannot even begin to compete with the discounted shipping prices and super fast dispatch times you may be used to when shopping online. What we can offer is ethical and plastic-free shipping materials and our dedicated attention to each order we dispatch. In order to recover our packaging and postage costs, while at the same time trying our best not to let the automation robots over-charge you, we calculate your shipping at checkout instead of adding those costs to your item’s price. This way, if you add multiple items to your order, you only get charged for the total weight and size of your order. The printed label on your delivered package may display the postage cost; the rest are our packaging and related running costs.

It has been written for everyone who wants to comprehend what is happening and what we can do about it – and maybe even have a laugh along the way.

‘I am convinced that the network must have saved many vulnerable people from going over the edge, as has tragically happened in many parts of the country. I am not surprised now that this same group has written this marvellous book.’ – Paul Laverty, Screenwriter for ‘I, Daniel Blake’
