JSA + expenses.
The Guardian has uncovered other adverts for similar unpaid Tesco roles posted this month in Clevedon and in Dinnington. Britain's largest private employer, which made over £3.5bn in profit last April, said that it had taken on 1,400 such claimants in the last four months. This amounts to 168,000 hours of unpaid work if all participants in the scheme work for 30 hours a week.
That's over 1 million pounds worth of free labour and exploitation.
Right, how do we get Dave out before he authorises lethal injections to the disabled and jobless?
(I don't think he'd use gas. that'll make him look evil. and it's too expensive anyway)

You were doing so well until then....
I totally agree that businesses should not be using work-experience people as free labour - they should be getting the market rate (I have a different view about work experience on community projects, thought).
