LPIS OCTOBER 16TH 198 BER I6th OUNG people in this country face poverty. A scent survey published in all the national papers nowed that in the North East at the present rate, ame of the young unemployed will never get work. hey can't hitch down the motorway and get a job in le South any more. A look in one of the London Job entres, or the unemployment figures for the South ill prove that. Norman Tebbit, employment linister, tells us to get on our bikes and find work. ebbit knows that there is no work and his talk is a lad of rubbish.

School leavers and other young unemployed are oing to face worse poverty than the 30's. That is if le sit back and take it. Class Fighter says that there is an answer to nemployment, we can fight it by getting the unemloyed united and organised. They should be ghting alongside the unions to get real jobs with Bal wages. The YOP schemes are a con. So is Tebbit's new cheme. One scheme in Scotland involved 350 oung workers. Out of these, 3 got jobs. That's here YOP schemes get you. Tebbit's new scheme s full of promises. It will be no different. In fact it vill be worse. They want to turn YOPs into a comulsory institution like school, they want to make us laves. Class Fighter says that YOP workers should be in Inions. They have a right to full trade union rates, hen the rise is due in November that's what they hould be demanding. They should also have the ight to a job at the end of each scheme. The unions nust take a lead in this fight and withdraw support rom cheap labour schemes.

Black youth have come under big attack from the lories. The immigration controls, police harrasment o name a few. The uprisings of last summer howed they want to fight back. The real intentions if the Tories was shown in the case of the black routh who was deported for 5 years for allegedly • Runal ioting.
