Petition Action

Voluntary Work For The Long-Term Unemployed

Additional Information

It's about time this country faced the fact that we can no longer keep paying the long-term unemployed for nothing. The State's aid system gives the long-term unemployed no reason to start working for minimum wage jobs, which will not allow them to rent.

I implore the Coalition to make it mandatory for the long-term unemployed to work voluntarily for the good of their local community for two days a week, allowing them to look for work for the remaining three.
