• Manchester Against Casualisation Campaign
  Many workers have experienced the misery of working for a job agency, a misery that nets £12-14 billion a year for agency bosses. Few industries are unaffected although the majority of agency workers are in service industries like IT, telesales, call centres and clerical work. Casual, insecure work isn't limited to agency workers. All jobs are less secure in the drive for a "flexible labour market". Short and fixed-term contracts are becoming the norm with casual workers employed beside "permanent" workers as the bosses try to divide and rule. Recent statistics suggest there are now around 1.8 million temporary workers in Britain. All workers - whether students or unemployed; temporary or permanent; low paid or long serving - can only gain from a campaign against casualisation. Such resistance has the potential to extend to a more general fightback around issues like health and safety, and can ultimately help to bring back some sorely needed workplace organisation

We are always desperate for volunteers too! On average we rehome 500 cats a year, 80 dogs and 60 rabbits - we are really quite a large sanctuary and always have loads of animals waiting for adoption. We are also unique in that we do homechecks for all the dogs and rabbits, and conduct thorough interviews on people wishing to adopt cats. We also keep animals for life if a suitable home can not be found - we only ever euthanise an animal under veterinary advice.
