There has been continuing regular claimants activity in Edinburgh since at least the early 1980's. Edinburgh Unemployed Workers Centre and Lothian Claimants Union were active up to the early 90's, while Edinburgh Claimants have been continuously active since around 1992. Folders containing the news-sheets, leaflets and posters published over the years are available for consultation in the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh.
