Why is workfare bad? Because each case is a real job, with a proper wage - taking someone off the dole - disappearing.
-
Last para: @UKTesco openly admits less than a quarter of #workfare slaves (300/1400) even get permanent jobs out of it http://t.co/jxsqSGya
-
So Tesco used 1,400 unpaid workers in the last 4 months. And boast of finding jobs for 300? That sounds profitable. Ethical, not so much.
-
I genuinely don't understand how workfare is legal. We have minimum wage laws in place. Surely Cameron can't force people to work for less.
-
Great, taxpayers pick up Tesco wage bill. We have no money for libraries, elderly; cut backs here and there. But we can donate to Tesco?

Dear @PoundlandParrot, please stop exploiting the jobless by recruiting unpaid staff as part of the government’s work experience scheme.

Please boycott Top Shop, Tesco, Asda, Primark, TK Maxx, Argos and Poundland until they stop using unpaid labour in the UK - it is slavery.
