So no doubt those who are against 'slave labour' will focus on this one now. and this one will probably have to be changed too. because afterall, the point was being forced to work for no wage.
and they'll be basing this argument solely on a few points.
(Loss of benefits for not wanting to work for free, minimum wage laws, not doing anything about jobs, and instead just admitting defeat and getting something out of them to keep the voters happy, boosting companies profits, loss of real jobs available due to free labour)
it should be fun.

It is hard enough to be taken seriously when looking for a job without having a waste of space doing all they can to sabotage everyone else by being a disruptive useless article.
We will have to get to a stage in this contry where there is more then enough job oppurtunitys for everyone wanting a job before we can clearly identify the work shy brigade and deal with them, sadly that won't happen anytime soon.

The whole point of this program was for it to be aimed at 18-24yr olds many of wome come from families who have never had any workers in it .These type of children need to learn that work isn't a dirty word .They need the basic experience of getting up and facing the responsibility of going to work on a daily basis along with the consequencies of not going .If people don't go to work they get docked pay ,if people don't attend on this scheme they should get docked jsa .Learning the consequencies of not going to work is just as important as learning the job itself .All that will happen now is that more 18-24yr olds will be placed on compulsory work schemes and non attendance will definately mean they face sanctions
