Tesco Workfare Demo
Protesters gathered to voice their anger over Tesco's use of the Government's "Workfare" scheme. Under the scheme it is alleged that workers are "Forced" to work a full week for only their benefits, plus expenses. The protesters regard this as "Slavery". Tesco have recently urged the Government to remove the compulsory nature of the scheme. Tesco are not the only company to take advantage of this scheme.
