No I don't know what you mean at all.
You still haven't been sent anywhere have you.
Read my posts. He withdrew it because he agreed i was right and as i was already doing voluntary work it was ok.
incompetent swine. If i hadnt of reminded him they were all set to send me to a charity shop.
People who have been in trouble with the police are sometimes askec to work in them as a kind of communith payback. Whats hard to understand about that.
jobseekers should not be working alongside people who are doing it as a punishment.:footie:0 -

but workers should?
I think the difference is, a worker is getting at least the min wage, you can not compare a worker being paid a wage, with someone doing it free as part of community service.
By making those on benefits do this work for free, you are putting them on the same footing as those on community service i.e doing it for free.
Red Devil makes a clear point, for those who are feigning not to understood that point, are only making themselves look daft, not Red Devil.0 -

Sorry what's hard to understand? Community pay back I am sure wont have much to do with charity shops.

Let's just say I know more than you about the subject having worked in the criminal justice system in various roles.
Community payback can and often does include working in the same sort of placements that the JCP mandate people on.0
