Yesterday, the Government set out its new plans for 'welfare reform'. The plans reform both Jobseeker's Allowance and Incapacity Benefit (soon to become Employment Support Allowance).
The proposals include compulsory community service for those on unemployment benefits (equating benefit entitlement with criminality), and a range of punitive measures for people on incapacity benefit.
At a time of increasing unemployment such draconian measures will not only prove counter-productive, but the requirement for forced labour and the greater harassment of disabled people is a moral disgrace.
Allowing the private sector to make money out of the unemployed and those on incapacity benefit is a step further than even the Governments of Thatcher or Major went.
The Government has sacked 30,000 staff in DWP since 2004 and now it is proposiing to give more of their jobs to the private sector through letting private companies deliver welfare programmes.
I will be standing in solidarity with the unemployed and the disabled, as well as PCS members working for Jobcentre Plus, to defend public services and welfare rights.

just curious does anyone know if the govt plans to include in these plans people who sign on but who arent actually entitled to benefits only national insurance credits?
The participation of the Private Sector in these proposals sends a shiver of apprehension down my spine and reminds me of my terrible treatment by Atos Medical services re my IB....6 months of hell, which made my condition worse and stands as a shadow over me....Neil Lawson made some good comments on the Today programme yesterday re reduction of stresses being more to the point, as a cure for many of the problems that IB users and potential users suffer.
The unions should withdraw all financial support from these New Labour gangsters. They can go to hell or on to the boards of private health/arms/employment companies which is their more likely destination after they've been turfed out.
Next stop the workhouse!
I do not mind the work house, being disabled it's better then the streets and I've done that as well.

He's coming over like James Purnell's cheerleader. I thought Flynn was supposed to be on the left?
