Re: Sainsbury's pull out of 'Work for your benefits scheme'

Not what the polls say...

Do you support or oppose job centres offering unemployed people short-term unpaid jobs to enable them to get experience of work. The placements are voluntary and people taking up the roles continue to receive jobseekers allowance while doing the job, but may lose benefit if they drop out half way through. There is no guarantee of a paid job at the end of theplacement.

Support-59% (CON-81%,LAB-44%,LD-66%)
Oppose-34% (CON-15%,LAB-51%,LD-31%)
Don't Know-7%

Do you support or oppose job centres forcing people on longer term unemployment to take up compulsory unpaid work placement to give them experience of work. If people refuse to take part in the mandatory work scheme, they risk having their jobseekers allowance stopped.

Support-61% (CON-82%,LAB-48%,LD-54%)
Oppose-32% (CON-14%,LAB-47%,LD-42%)
Don't Know-8%

Which of the following statements best reflects your view?

Giving unpaid work placements to the unemployed is a positive thing for a company to do, helping young unemployed people get experience of real work
52% (CON-74%,LAB-37%,LD-56%)

Giving unpaid work placements to the unemployed is a negative thing for a company to do, exploiting the unemployed to do work that they should be paying a proper wage for
34% (CON-17%,LAB-49%,LD-37%)

Neither-8%
Don't know-7%
