why disabled people should support the June 30th strikes

why disabled people should support the June 30th strikes Posted: 20 Jun 2011 12:48 PM PDT We marched together- Now why disabled people should support the  June 30th strikes… Unite the Fights June 30th The millionaire wreckers now in government are determined to continue the  wholesale destruction of our National Health Service and welfare state both  of which most of us rely on. The National Health Service and the welfare state  were fought for through generations of poverty and misery by working class  people, likewise disability rights came because of the strength of those disabled  people who would not accept less then their human rights. Everything worked  for is being destroyed in the biggest onslaught on social justice in our life-times. DPAC believes in the united strength of disabled people to fight these savage  ideological attacks. We also believe that supporting and joining in with the  June 30th public sector strikes is an important part of our fight. On June 30th  over 700,000 public sector workers will strike. Disabled people must be an  important part of shaping the resistance to these cuts on June 30th. This strike is not just about public sector pensions, the proposed changes to  public sector pensions is only a very small part of how the welfare state has  already been dismantled in other countries such as US, Canada, Australia. It  is vital that we join together to protect hardwon services and rights for working  class and disabled people and tell the millionaire politicians who have no need  of these services that they were never elected to destroy them. Added to all of that we have now witnessed the appalling ignorance and prejudice  of Conservative MP for Shipley, Philip Davies, who publicly stated that disabled  people should be willing to work for less then the minimum wage as employers  may then be more willing to employ them. This type of outdated attitude helps  to show the importance to disabled people in employment of strong unions both  in the public and private sectors. That’s why we’re asking our supporters to join in with any strike action in your  area.
