people profit from this 'slave labour'
in the real world a government would step in and talk about the minimum wage.

The issue in my mind is two fold
1) The people who are genuinely busting a gut to try and find work (will this interfere with their job searching? Or, would they be expected to complete that out of hours?
2) The people that make living on benefits a life style choice and have done for years I have no issues with them working. Let's face it, IF someone has say claimed JSA for five years then they probably owe the country a fair few hours.
