          <p>We call upon consumers of digital products &#8211; including trades unions, charities, governments and private companies &#8211; to reject the false assumption that only multinational conglomerates or private equity-funded startups can be great
            tech companies. Technology is the lifeblood of all our futures, not just a gravy train for the fortunate few.</p>
          <p>We hereby give notice to technology companies that do not treat their employees fairly, do not give their workers control of their businesses and do not seek to create a fairer world that your days are numbered. We are more creative, more committed

Remove unused CSS classes in top-level pages I couldn't work out how to generate these classes dynamically. I wanted to use the page slug, but it didn't seem to be available. However since it doesn't look as if they're being used, I've chosen to remove them for now. 2017-07-01 11:55:17 +00:00			`<div>`
