C.A. delivers yet another blow to the DWP & Osborne
The Court of Appeal have issued a judgment on the illegality of forcing unemployed into 'voluntary' work. This will now entitle thousands of claimants illegally sanctioned to claim appropriate compensation.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7006466.html

If there is a job to be done the companies should pay the going rate for it.

I agree Purwell but they are talking about voluntary work. By doing voluntary work this can lead to full time employment

Everyone needs to eat and if they are doing 'voluntary' work which by definition is unpaid, how are they supposed to 'live' and eat and look for 'paid' employment too.

everyone who is unemployed but fit should have to get out of bed in the morning and do some kind of voluntary work right down to litter picking and fence painting.Everyone else has to work so why should the unemployed on benefits get something for nothing.

Some argue that giving them work to do (in return for their dole money) deprives others of their jobs.
But what about those jobs that either no-one wants to do or no businesses want to take on?
Many old people would appreciate someone helping them out at home: cleaning, gardening, doing small repairs, etc.
I see litter and graffiti all over the place. Local councils claim they can't afford to employ someone to clear it up (probably because they need the money to pay for their generous pay, junkets and pensions), so why can't unemployed people help out?
I'm sure there are many other examples of jobs that need doing but don't seem to get done.
