If they're expected to work full time hours for JSA, then it's exploitation pure and simple.
Why do you do these Harriett Harmen type links, can't you do proper links ?
Exactly. It would also be helpful (although I appreciate not necessarily practical) if the work involved was somehow relevant to the person's job search if they had any qualifications.
So they can find the unemployed work to do for their dole but can't find them work to do for a wage.
Is this just a scam to get unemployment figures down :rolleyes:
Yes I can, the article isn't up yet, so I don't have a link.
I have a better idea. How about if the people at the job centre and the people at work programme providers such as A4E worked for the wages they are given. That may then help the unemployed get jobs. I can not remember the last time I was given a useful piece of information regarding a job opportunity from either the job centre or A4E.
So why couldn't you wait till it was up. Then people could read it and be better informed and there could be a more meaningful discussion
More stupidity - it should be 8-12 hours but this is just to punish the unemployed for the WP's failings
Hopefully tories won't get a second term
They could sack them and give the unemployed their jobs, they'd probably be just as good if not better at it.
It will be a 40 hour week for JSA, about 50p an hour, something like that.
One thing I wondered, are these people being offered jobs and deliberately turning them down / not making the effort etc., or are they not being offered any jobs and being punished because employers don't want to know? There is a difference.
Link is now there below you man, calm down dear.
There's not a difference to the job(sanction)centre as they'll use this scheme (if the tories get elected) against everyone no matter the reason why they aren't employed
It's to punish people as opposed to being of any actual help
This government may as well just bring the old workhouses back and exploit the poor jobless even more while these MP's and wealthy ppl reap the rewards of tax breaks etc.
Completely out of touch every single politician. no idea how the poor working class live.
Don't you know, the unemployed "steal" from the the hard working majority.
I'd say there are probably more who are just not being offered jobs because employers don't want to know than there are people not making the effort. so I'd say it's the majority being punished for the minority.... as always.
Glad they are not making accountants dig roads.
At the end of it that poor person who's probably worked their ass off for no wage other than their JSA will get nothing out of it. A sure way for all these companies to exploit the jobless when they know they won't have to pay a minimum wage.
The time will come when these big firms will rid the staff they have in order to bring more jobless in to do same work but for nothing more than their dole.
Liars the lot of em.
