Greggs The Bakers We dont participate in any mandatory government scheme. We do offer a 4 week work experience programme. This programme is entirely voluntary and not restricted to young job centre plus candidates, but open to a number of disadvantaged groups of people whom we work with and have contact with. We ensure that where possible paid roles are offered upon completion by placing people in areas of the business where vacancies are likely to exist. Christian Garland We dont have any actual response to your questions or criticism, but we do repeat PR nonsense to sidestep and avoid that...on a loop. Christian Garland Whether or not you participate in any mandatory government scheme is not actually the issue though, and was not put to you at all, but in true PR style you use something similar to make the association with distancing yourselves from what you are under fire for, by giving the appearance of saying something in response, without saying anything at all: PR in a nutshell. As has already been said quite clearly, workfare by its very nature is always mandatory - more or less. No claimant ever gets the option to decline it altogether, it has compulsion embedded at every turn, and unlike those unfortunate enough to get sent to a branch of Greggs to work unpaid, you do not have to take part, but choose to. You are most certainly cynically making use of the unpaid labour of JSA claimants who are sent to you by the workfare-third party or direct from the Job Centre. Just because it is not at gunpoint, does not mean the element of coercion is not there, however much it is veiled by fake smiles and first names, and called its opposite: help and support.
