He seems to have removed a4e details. He did say he was taking a break from commenting as he gets enough of that during the day. that was a week ago and silence. I am sure he got into BIG trouble over the comments he made.
If you notice he never had a real answer just standard phrasing

A PRO workfare site,
http://www.ladyfeckless.blogspot.co.uk/
My reply am waiting for it to be deleted but here is what i put
Have you actually experienced the Work Programme, How come using the Dwp's own figures the Work Programme doesnt improve a persons chance of working.
Now it wouldn't be so bad if there were plenty of jobs, but the fact that we are in a recession, that many major high street stores are closing and letting staff go. You have a large amount of people going for the same jobs, some far more qualified than joe bloggs down the road. All the work programme does is allow for profit industries to get free workers, then when that is done and they leave they get the new lot in. This will affect other workers as has been seen at Argos, they usually hire people for Christmas these people have been replaced by free workers, How is that better than actually paying someone for the work?
Of course you dont realise that these companies get money for taking work programme staff on for the so called free workers, not to mention the £400 per person these private providers get for each person on the scheme. So the only people who are benefiting from these schemes are for profit industries and work programme providers.
Payment by results means they do the least they can to maximise their profits.

Employment claims prove inaccurate and misleading
By John Charles Dyer, UK Correspondent
12 Feb 2013. Statistics readily accessible through the Office of National Statistics (ONS) prove government & BBC claims concerning monthly employment statistics are misleading and/or inaccurate.
http://www.newstatesman.com/economics/2013/02/million-jobs-group-links-idss-think-tank-which-defending-workfare
Million Jobs, a campaign formed to "stand up for young people without work", has got a lot of attention. Its 23-year-old founder, Lottie Dexter, has been quoted in the Sun warning about long-term unemployment, and was invited on to BBC News to defend the government's work experience program after elements of it were found to be illegal.
Dexter was previously the communications co-ordinator of Iain Duncan Smith's right-wing think-tank the Centre for Social Justice, a role she left to launch Million Jobs. Her salary is now paid through donations from the site, but her political past sometimes shines through.

Poundland leaves Work Prog, Welfare cashcard withdrawn
Poundland Leaves work Programme
——————————————————————————–
In light of the news about the Department of Work and Pensions work experience case, we would like to announce that we have been working in partnership with the Job Centre Plus over the last few months to launch our own work experience programme for those considering a career in retail.
Withdrawal from the DWP Scheme
——————————————————————————–
Our work experience programme is completely voluntary – no one has their benefits taken away from them at any point during the process. This programme replaces any involvement with the Department of Work and Pensions prime providers and their work experience schemes.
We recognise the importance of offering work experience to people looking to get back into work and currently have people taking part in our own work experience programme across 71 of our stores. Since launching our scheme a positive 20% have been offered a job with us.
If you are interested in a career in retail and would like to find out more about the new work experience scheme with the Job Centre Plus please contact your local Job Centre.

Amazon is at the centre of a deepening scandal in Germany as the online shopping giant faced claims that it employed security guards with neo-Nazi connections to intimidate its foreign workers.
Amazon is at the centre of a deepening scandal in Germany as the online shopping giant faced claims that it employed security guards with neo-Nazi connections to intimidate its foreign workers.
Germany’s ARD television channel made the allegations in a documentary about
Amazon’s treatment of more than 5,000 temporary staff from across Europe to work
at its German packing and distribution centres.
The film showed omnipresent guards from a company named HESS Security wearing black uniforms, boots and with military haircuts. They were employed to keep order at hostels and budget hotels where foreign workers stayed. “Many of the workers are afraid,” the programme-makers said.

Nothing to Hide.. yet its been deleted
- Did
@JontyOC delete the first comment he made about teaching people to wash and use loo paper I cant find it But luckily others have copies - Yes I deleted it
@greenwoods4727 @JontyOC If you have nothing to hide as quoted by many others Do a4e still do these courses? How many people feel worse due to it

I am not a spokesman, so says the spokesman
-
It is a tricky balance
@greenwoods4727 as obv I work for the firm, so have thoughts about my job. But I am not an official spokesperson@JontyOC If you are not an official spokesman, then you shouldnt be speaking about them at all You are publicising a4e therefore you are one
More from JontyOC
@JontyOC so what have they been doing with toilet paper.. and that will help them get a job? How
Some of the customers had not been using loo paper at all@greenwoods4727. Obviously they need to if they want to get through interviews
@JontyOC@greenwoods4727 Wow. Surely people that don't know how to use toilet paper are likely to have MH issues?
Some customers do have MH needs yes@ThePosieParker@greenwoods4727, and we have NHS and in house support available for them.@JontyOC@ThePosieParker So you will send everyone for MH checking then. what qualifications do they have, can they determine MH in minutes?
@greenwoods4727@JontyOC@ThePosieParker MH is complex and takes months or years to be diagnosed yet a4e will do it in 10 mins once a month?

Radio 5 live
Today on radio 5 live they did a story about the work providers pushing self employment. Kirsty McHugh of the ERSA (the industry's trade body) said to complain to the provider you have problems with.
ARGH ARGH it is the standard if you have a problem with your provider go to your provider excuse. They may do a review and find everything is golden and rainbows fill the air. The providers have a reason to ignore any complaints, We cant complain to the job centre as they are not involved we dare not complain to the provider, we cant complain to the ICE because we have to complain to the provider first. Add to that the threats you feel if you dare speak out who can we really speak too No one seems to want to listen to the unemployed.
Your mp's must get hundreds of complaints every week, the only people we can talk to is people on boards like this, on forums on twitter and spread what we know. This feels like an uphill struggle and i have come close a few times to giving up becoming the mindless drone so many people want me to become but then i remember my dad and brother who taught me to think, my great aunt for when to stand up and say ENOUGH and fight to the very last.
