So if you decide you don't want to do a job anyone else in this country would be paid minimum wage at least then its fair "sanctions are imposed"?

I think the scheme is great but pay everyone on it the minimum wage that the law says they're entitled to. Unless the unemployed are not protected by the same rights as anyone else?

An as for your comment that these are not jobs I disagree, You arrive at the same time as a fulltime employee, you go for a break the same time, you go for lunch the same time, you finish the same time, you do exactly the same work, These are jobs in all but WAGE!

There is no defense for not paying minimum wage, refusal to work once offered minimum wage should incur sanctions.
