Petition Action

Work For The Dole.

Additional Information

For all those that claim unemployment benefit for over a year and are able bodied, they should be made to 'work for the dole'. If they do not work three days a week (for a good enough reason) they should not get benefits.

This would help to get rid of the 'claiming benefits rather than getting employment' mentality, whilst also giving the individual time to (two days per week) to attend interviews.

The three days work should be flexible and not be allowed to carry over into the following week. No work, no pay.

This would also give the indivdual some experience to add to their CV, reduce the amount the UK has to pay in benefits and lift the mood of all the taxpayers out there that are sick of paying for these individuals to sit back and watch Jeremy Kyle (on their looted flat-screens) whilst we all have to go to work and pay higher taxes to help get our country out of a recesion.
