@bazzacollins Perhaps she was. If so, isn't voluntary work for the community better for society than unpaid work for rich corporations?
Plaintiff claimed being forced to work stopped her voluntary work. Shouldn't see have been pursuing paid work if she needed benefits?

@jackschofield Perhaps. But if she spent the time doing her voluntary work seeking paid work, would the economy not be better off? -
@bazzacollins Yes, but what do you think the real unemployment rate is out here in the cold? (My family has gone from 3 jobs to 0 jobs.) -
@jackschofield Know it's tough, but don't understand why letting folk elect when/where they work and claim benefits is a good thing? -
@bazzacollins Being forced to do voluntary work or community service is one thing. Subsidising a money-making corporation is another. -
@jackschofield I agree that shelf-stacking for supermarkets is poor, but I agree with the principle of the policy. -
@bazzacollins If people *choose* unpaid work experience, that's fine with me. They shouldn't be bullied into bad, zero-paid commercial work.
