Random drug and alcohol checks for people claiming job seekers allowance.
Many companies require new employees to carry out a drug and alcohol test. I believe that those who are receiving jsa should also be subject to these test. They should not be allowed to fund their habit and restrict their chances of getting a job using money given to them by the government.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand your request about drugs testing, but we don't understand the part about alcohol, given that alcohol is legal in the UK. If you think that there should be a legal limit on the amount of alcohol JSA claimants can consume before attending a JobCentre appointment (a bit like the legal blood-alcohol limit for driving), you could start a petition about this. As currently drafted, your petition doesn't call for sufficiently clear and specific action by the Government.
