Disabled workers vote to strike

Remploy factories lose money. Pricing for profit means they will be uncompetitive and lose business.
This has been a marketing challenge for decades. They are a solution looking for an application.
Too late now. Let them be taken over and new owners find the right and profitable application.
The disabled can do profitable work. I know, I have employed some, but isn't it better that they are part of a larger non disabled workforce?

remploy are being lined up to take over the job center
im currently on a back to work scheme myself after being made reduntant
i have to go once a week to a place in manchester
to be told how to apply for for jobs ect ect ive worked all my life never been unemployed till now ive been going to this place a year and they have never sent me for a job interview
on the note that these remploy places are closing and putting dissabled folk on the scrap heap its dissgusting
mass protests will start soon this goverment are not in touch with any of us voters its a case of im ook jack ill retire with millions that ive taken from working class people

Isn't that what this government is wanting to do, close Remploy down.
I think the government will say go ahead with the strike.
Thats fine, close yourselves down.
Many years ago Remploy closed factories, and most never found any more work..
When we have disabled people who want to work, this Government should be going all out to search work contracts for Remploy.
Maria Miller (minister for disabled) does not want disabled people working at a disablement centre she wants equality for them so they can work in any workplace.
However I think she is living in cloud cuckoo land.

What a load of leftwing claptrap I have just read in the comments. Have you people no idea what is happening in this country. We have no money, your services are going to stop, you are going to get behind with your mortgage or rent. We have to stop spending money on things we don't have to.

Most of these workers WILL find other employment (subsidised), with other employers.

You are a very sick individual Mr Cameron. Prey on the people who have to fight for everything they get and consign them to a life of benefits. I hope very soon you realise exactly what the majority of the British population thinks of your government. This is a huge error of judgement ( another u turn please)

This is utterly outrageous. "Open employment" is in no way suitable for disabled people because the amount of pressure that employees are expected to cope with is already pushing able-bodied people to the limit, there is no way that a disabled person would be able to work as fast or as effectively or without making mistakes in such an environment.

This idiotic govt. thinks it will save money but what it doesn't realise is that the only outcome would be a total loss of revenue from the factories and an increase in the welfare bill in the form of benefits to the disabled people put out of a job.

However, if the govt. plans to close all the factories anyway, one wonders what results a strike would hope to achieve, there must surely be another way to fight back against the closures.

Why do this to disabled people? Isnt it better to subsidise them to work rather than add them on the long unemployment list. It doesn't make sense.
