Petition to Abolish Work for your Benefit/Workfare Schemes in the UK – New 2012 Petition

 We want to abolish work for your benefit/workfare schemes in the UK. People selling their labour should be fairly remunerated for their work at the normal level paid for the tasks they perform and treated in the same way as a standard employee with full rights and representation if requested. These are the basic rights of any worker in a modern democratic society.

Workfare is effectively forced labour and is therefore illegal in the UK.
