Dundee Fairness Commission Says Boycott Workfare

DUNDEE should refuse to force unemployed people to do unpaid work in exchange for benefits, the city’s poverty task force said. The Government’s Workfare programme makes people on benefits carry out unpaid work to gain experience to help them gain a permanent job. Failure to complete a programme can see benefits cut. Dundee’s Fairness Commission, set up to find ways to tackle poverty and inequality in the city, is urging employers not to accept workers through the Workfare programme. The idea was put forward when the commission met last night and unanimously supported by health, council, education and voluntary service workers on the commission.

Ginny Lawson, of the Money Advice service at the Brooksbank Centre, said: “People are sent to work for free but it costs them for travel and childcare costs. “We should take a stand and say ‘no one in Dundee is going to do Workfare’.
