A follow-up to my last video Working While Autistic!
Watch here: • An Autistic Person's Experience of Work
My other autism videos: • Ariel: Feminist. Iconic. Autistic?
When disabled people are deemed "fit for work" by apathetic governments, we need to be safe in employment. I talk about some of the barriers and challenges facing us and why we need more worker solidarity from those on the Left.
There is an idea that if we pursue ideas like UBI, or even just improve our benefits & welfare systems, that this will put people off work, but when the evidence comes in, we know this isn't the case.
For the entire history of humanity, people worked. Work predates wages & people usually quite like having a positive impact on the environment around them.
I look at some of your comments about jobs you liked as autistic & otherwise disabled workers. What made them good jobs or autism-friendly?
What can employers, managers, union leaders or even just shift supervisors do to make autistic & disabled workers happier & safer?
This is important right now especially as the UK Government recently announced changes to the benefits system which will leave millions of disabled people worse-off, by replacing PIP payments with VOUCHERS.
