Jobseekers Forced to Work At UK Government 'Back-to-Work' Company

[Left Leanings]

David 'Dave' Cameron's back-to-work tsar, is in the shit.

The company A4e, which has received millions in public money, has been forcing jobseekers to work in its own offices for nothing:

The company has also been accused of fraud:

Greedy pigs with their snouts in the trough, harrassing us lot, and ordering us to work for nothing.

Fuck off :star:

Because working, paid or unpaid, is the sole purpose of life on earth and if you layabouts aren't going to contribute then you can starve!!!
Easy for MPs to come up with these genius schemes, fuckers have jobs for life in some cases, above average pay and sweet pensions.

this is evidence that reformism is not an option and only revolution is. As long as there is capital, there is corruption.

I don't have direct experience of this company itself. But I know a few job-brokers, charities blah blah blah, that are supposed to get the unemployed 'back to work'.

My attendance was always voluntary, cos I'm 'on the sick'. The schemes they offer are just devious ploys to give people 'work experience' (slave labour for a deadbeat tosser of an employer for fuck all), with no permanent job at the end. Then when peeps try and go back on their sickness benefits, they can't (despite being told there are 'linking-rules' allowing them to do so), cos they have been 'employed'.

A fucking piss-taking scam all round :star:
