ATOS are the company paid by the government to take away disabled peoples benefits in an attempt to force them into work or onto the dole. Their decisions are driven by profit not be a genuine desire to assess peoples needs and dispite nearly  half of appeals against them being sucessful their decisions have resulted in the deaths of people unable to work despite their ATOS 'assessments'.

We will be picketing the ATOS centre at flowers hill in Bristol, as both a protest against the company and a chance to talk to people who are being assessed and pass on advice on how to dodge the tricks ATOS employ to take away peoples right to benefits.

Join us at flowers hill (map) from 2pm, on wednesday the 2nd of May. You can get the x39, 36, 349 or 57 bus from the centre or there is plenty of parking near by.
