Rejected petition Get people on Job Seekers Allowance to do unskilled labour or community service
More details
The government should stop employing people to do unskilled labour, for example, picking up litter. Those on Job Seekers allowance should then be made to do one days labour per week in these rolls in exchange for their benefits. If there is no standard work to be done then one days community service should be carried out instead. Gets people out of their houses and helping the community and saves the government money.
