Blijkens een melding die wij binnenkregen, werkt de gemeente Purmerend al minstens drie jaar met het plaatsen van camera’s. En op een heel wat meer slinkse manier dan Nijmegen. Buren van bijstandsgerechtigden worden namelijk door gemeentefunctionarissen benaderd met de vraag of een camera heimelijk in hun huis geplaatst mag worden. Daarbij zijn ze zeer aanhoudend en praten ze op de

De gemeente hoopt zo tienduizend euro per verkiezing te besparen. Tot nu toe verdienden ambtenaren of andere burgers die op de stembureaus zaten een zakcent bij doordat ze presentiegeld kregen voor het bemensen

The struggle continues against the forced labor center DZB in Leiden, where welfare recipients must work without receiving real wages. After successful actions on May 1st and 2nd, the emphasis of Doorbraak’s actions in these coming months will be on undermining the governability of the center..

It is striking that Dutch socialist organisations show relatively little interest in the emerging battle of the unemployed against forced labour. Although the more established social-democrat parties and unions are now sparingly showing some solidarity, none of them is taking a principled stand against forced labour let alone more in general against forcing people into wage slavery. “Everyone to the

Today Labour Day was celebrated for the second time on the square in front of the DZB forced labour centre. Yesterday May 1st, the management of the centre unexpectedly declared a day of leave. It was an attempt to prevent an increase in contacts between the forced labourers and the activists who were planning to celebrate this day together. The

In Leiden today some 25 people celebrated Labour Day on the square in front of the DZB (1) building. Similar to last year, there was music, food and drinks, and a few short speeches. There were only 7 forced labourers present though: the management had sent them all home, completely unexpectedly at 10:00 a.m. This is a small victory! The

It has already been over two years since Doorbraak started an experiment in Leiden of using ‘organizing’ elements in the battle against the government cuts. Examples of these elements are conducting dialogues, indepth evaluation of all activities, and targeted efforts at building a position of power. We have reported back a few times, and this time we can report the

Depuis quelque temps, les militants du groupe Doorbraak luttent à Leiden contre les tentatives d’imposer le travail forcé aux “bénéficiaires” des allocations chômage. Cette politique du travail forcé s’applique exclusivement aux personnes qui reçoivent de l’argent de l’État. Aux Pays-Bas, lorsque vous perdez votre emploi, tout d’abord, vous percevez pendant quelques mois environ 70 % de votre revenu antérieur, selon
