Rejected petition Force Long-term Unemployed back into work
More details
Force the unemployed back into work by giving them jobs to do for minimum wage. We have an urgent need for council homes in the UK giving jobs to the long term unemployed by getting them to build new homes for others, will give them the experience and skills needed to find work for themselves in the future.
We also have a very littered country, litter picking jobs should also be given.
There are so many jobs that need doing in the UK and so many unemployed. Give them a job!
If they refuse to do the job given the should be refused benefits and have to live from food tokens.
