This week, Boycott Workfare has been contacted by a concerned member of staff working at high street retailer Shoe Zone. Their first hand experience, which they bravely wanted to share with us all, provides yet more evidence that workfare is replacing paid jobs. As with Argos and Superdrug, Shoezone are using ‘work experience’ from the job centre to cover the busy Christmas period instead of employing temporary staff or giving current staff the option of over-time.

I dont understand how ANYONE can defend workfare at all. Even if you think jobseekers are scroungers and that, surely you can see that this is bad for the country? Ridding us of paid jobs and replacing them with free staff while allowing massive companies to up their profits at the cost of the tax payer.
