Interesting take on that story, with sadly typical Daily Mail OMG LUZER bias. When you get down into the detail, you find that they were under no obligation to work for free, but that wasn't made clear to them at the time. I certainly don't agree with free labour for a few large organisations. It's a typical Tory "all benefit claiments are evil" approach, because they haven't got a clue what it's like to be unemployed. The government claim it's "valuable work experience." Rubbish. It's free labour for large companies.

 

Of course, Labour didn't help matters in this girl's case. By shoving as many people as possible through Uni, they got the unemployment figures down, and when these people all suddenly found themselves qualified but with not enough jobs to go around, that's the ConDebs problem! Fuggin' politics.

Still a shitty scheme though. Why would a company bother to hire people when they can get others to do the job for nothing?

Sadly then I've done a typical DM* reader thing and just read the bit about her trying to sue the government for slave labour.

 

*Other papers (probably all of them) apply too.
