At our expense once again.
We bear the costs for their careers. Very uneqaul and extremely unfair and not helpful in resolving the Worklessness problem especially with regard to CAREER Creation and not just jobs.

Well, the unemployed have become an industry, that needs constant feeding.

Maybe they are going for the head and not chasing the tail? Good things happen!

A4e were the biggest shark in the pool under ND and FND. They had the biggest share of the contracts. It is under ND and FND where most fraud took place so far.

A4e were attracted most attention due to the agressive media hunger of former chairwoman, Emma Harrison. She popped up on all manner of tv program, Benefit Busters, Famous, Rich and Jobless, Secret Millionaire, Daily Politics etc. She became seen as an 'employment guru' and was Cameron's 'troubled families' champion. She was even given a CBE in 2010!

So it would appear that A4e became the biggest target due to its own actions and the super inflated ego of its founder.

If you're saying that other W2W companies need investigation, I'd generally agree. Indeed, starting with A4e, there needs to be a public enquiry into the WHOLE W2W sector.

Exactly I know they can't find work, hence why they're subcontracting clients out to other recruitment agency's, which are in turn providing work trials for free labor.

I know this is going on as ive been spoken to about it,or should i say i picked up on it via where the conversation was heading with my current provider. They really just want to palm us all off with any old crappy job just to collect on their fees, they have no concern about what quality of job you maybe looking for or have specialist skills and experience in.

Its all to do with the bull !!!! promise of, if you work there for 3-6months without any benefits meaning real paid employee wages,and thats debateable as to if you can live on em, then there maybe full time work ? "ring any bells" sounds similar to that little game of workfair.

The quicker they bin this pile of crap the better.

Comin soon! the royal courts of justice + other WP cases being brought to court. LOL:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

Cait Reilly's at the Royal Courts Of Justice. See para 5.

And that will take months anyway, (so anyone on JSA can relax...)

true, but they could tell jobcentres to get tougher. until we see a story saying its the end of daft schemes no-one who needs to claim can relax. there also needs to be a change of attitude towards the unemployed.

So you would rather we did not have a Welfare State?
Or is it so easy to pick on those with the lowest incomes that happen to come from the State?
The only people benefiting from the unemployed are the State, Workfare Industry and Big Business.:mad::mad::mad::eek::eek:
I can't believe your attitude and that of other smug self righteous Benefits Bashers who I bet would LOVE to have the consequences on their doorstep of dismantling of the Welfare state.
