Forced to work for nothing.

[Workingman]

I think that you are being a bit unfair Fugi. The girl wasn't doing the 'duvet day' thing, she was getting the work ethic by volunteering at the museum. The rules allowed her to do that. However, she will have been an easy target for the tick boxers in comparison the some of the serial long term unemployed at the same Jobcentre, those who know how to play the system.

Ossie, I'll bet a pound to a penny that if Poundland, and other companies on the scheme, had to pay minimum wages to the workers sent by the DWP the positions on offer would dry up.
