You're Sack. See You Monday Working For Nowt.
// A man who was laid off at the end of his temporary job has been ordered by the Department for Work and Pensions to work for the same company for six months without pay.
Unemployed electronics specialist, John McArthur, 59, says he is living off 16p tins of spaghetti and has been without heating, after being sanctioned by the jobcentre when he refused to work without pay for Scottish social enterprise, LAMH Recycle in Motherwell.
While he says he was happy to work for LAMH under the now-defunct future jobs fund for the minimum wage between late 2010 and 2011, he now refuses on principle to do the same job without any pay. //

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.He has a valid point/case. It's what happens when folk implement rules without thinking things through, I suspect. And indicates the absurdity of holding back job opportunities and earmaring them as unpaid to insist folk won't get Welfare that, as a citizen one should be entitled to, unless they fill the position. It takes a job opportunity from a willing worker, forcing them onto Welfare whilst giving an organisation opportunity to get labour for free that they should be paying for.
