Government to introduce compulsory work seminar for job-seeking beneficiaries

Beneficiaries looking for a job will have to attend a work seminar within two weeks of starting to receive welfare under new requirements.

I am sure this will be super effective and will not cost any money at all.

A reminder to anybody that isn't aware, that the structure of our economy requires a level of unemployment to keep wage demands low and combat inflation (even when the bulk of that inflation is imported through overseas cost & profiteering).

So the economy guarantees some people won't have jobs, and this government aims to be punitive to those people who don't have jobs; including the people the same government is actively forcing out of employment.
- The number of people unemployed is not as important as the number of people who are not in a union. The people being canned from government positions will be replaced with contractors who will cost more but will not be in a union.
It's just the Work4U seminar back again. At least this time it's after benefit grant instead of trying to make people attend it first in the insane belief that attending a seminar would somehow reduce benefit uptake instead of just delaying people's access to help.
