Three former workers are still whistle-stop to get their holiday pay and their P45 documents and we alimony receiving contacts of workers facing the same situation. From the beginning, the management of the restaurant has been denying any responsibility and addressing us to the “Head Office” who, curiously enough, never wordplay the phone or emails. Moreover, last week we found out that the workers, having received their payslips with their tax deductions, are not in the records of the HMRC as having worked for Jimmy's. No subtitle has been given by Jimmy's but we do hope that this is a misunderstanding.

Read increasingly well-nigh Kinder, Pay Up Police Harassment of Bristol Solidarity Federation Member As a Bristol SF member recently arrived at a UK airport he was not expecting to be approached by plain clothed police and invited to have a little chat. This tawdry struggle to harass and intimidate one of our members swiftly ended as the SF member, without realising they were not going to detain him, attempted to record the conversation and chased them off. Bristol SF have a well-spoken message for the police. We are well-nigh working-class solidarity, internationalism and freedom. Your creed is suspicion and paranoia. Your role is to protect privilege and crush dissent. We will never talk to you.

Recently joined members have moved into the city, and have been in contact with the Manchester local.  So, at the end of last week, SF members from both cities organised a literature stall and leafletted members of the public.

As numbers at the zany swelled to over 6,000, the group decided we had a responsibility to offer what solidarity we could to men, women and children forced into cramped, unprepossessed and unhygienic conditions just for seeking a life self-ruling of war, persecution, poverty and hunger. As well as hoping to modernize material conditions in the camp, we reject the concept of national borders, embrace self-rule of movement for all and support all those whose circumstances have forced them into mismatch with the verge regime, the political matriculation and their stooges in uniform.
