Re: Unemployed could be forced to do compulsory manual labour

Why does there have to be a natural assumption that this will not be welcomed by the unemployed and in doing that are some of you not doing them a disservice. As i stated before sometimes the biggest obstacle to getting back into work can be the period you are seen by an employer to have been sitting doing nothing this scheme if done correctly will help remedy that or at the very least remove that excuse from potential employers. I do have my concerns with some of what the coalition and certainly some of it's members have in mind in other areas but that is something for another thread. This if done right (thats the key point here will it be done right) does not have to be a bad thing and could be a very good thing for long term unemployed who want to return to work. Sadly for the career claimant i don't think it will make a figs difference they will simply avoid it by going onto some form of medical benefit for a while and play that cycle of jsa, esa kicked off back onto jsa for a period and back onto esa.
