Rejected petition Work 4 Benefits

More details

I propose that everyone who has been unemployed for more than one month and is able, should be given the option of taking an advertised position or perform some kind of 'community work' in exchange for benefit including unemployment, housing and all associated benefits. Should they refuse this they should have their benefits removed
