* las autoridades dejan sin trabajo, detienen y deportan a la gente porque no
tienen papeles.
* los patrones sin escrúpulos pagan una miseria a la gente y les ponen a
trabajar en condiciones peligrosas porque no tienen los papeles
* diariamente muere gente que trata de cruzar las fronteras.

…y este año se está poniendo peor con las nuevas reglas en contra el
'trabajo ilegal' que permiten que las empresas revisen constantemente los
papeles de los 'extranjeros'.

¡PERO NO TIENE QUE SER ASI! Si nos sumamos en nuestros sitios de trabajo y en
nuestras comunidades podemos poner un alto a todo esto.

Con esta meta los sindicalistas y activistas vamos a reunirnos el 29 de marzo
para compartir experiencias, refinar tácticas y crear redes de apoyo, y
presionar a los sindicatos y otras organizaciones para que luchen contra estos
controles tan perniciosos y decir que ¡Nadie es Ilegal!

Habrá sesiones plenarias y talleres sobre los siguientes temas:

- Controles de inmigración en el trabajo
- La discusión sobre una 'amnistía'
- Acceso a los servicios públicos
- Resistiendo la deportación
- Luchas salariales y sobre condiciones de trabajo
- Trabajo domestico
- El sector del transporte y los controles de inmigración
Habrá guardería pero infórmenos con antelación si trae niños.
ENTRADA GRATUITA

Post: Immigration Conference, Dean O'Hanlon, RMT, Unity House, 39 Chalton
Street, Euston, London NW1 1JD.
Every day people are being detained and deported.
Every day people are being denied education, health care, the right to work and
thrown into destitution because of their immigration status.
Every day people are paid peanuts and made to work in life threatening
conditions by unscrupulous employers because of their immigration status.
Every day people die trying to cross borders.
Every day Immigration Officers raid people's homes at dawn and raid migrants at
work.

And it is getting worse with new legislation requiring employers to regularly
check papers of 'foreigners'.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS! If we get together in our workplaces and
our communities we can stop this.

To make this happen trade unionists and community activists need to get
together to share experiences, develop tactics and networks, find ways of
winning trade unions and other organisations to fight these pernicious controls
and say No One is Illegal!

So come along to the conference and make this happen.

There will be plenary sessions and workshops and with plenty of time for
discussion, including:

- Resisting immigration controls in the workplace
- Access to education, social services, housing & health
- Resisting deportation
- Resisting low pay and poor conditions
- Domestic work
- Transport industry and immigration controls

There will be a creche. Please let us know if you will be bringing children.
