I certainly won’t claim company’s are innocent but when people are turning down work as they are better off on benefits something is very wrong with the system
Why would you view it that way.Rather than when wages are so low that it’s unviable to go to work unless they are topped up with benefits or not working is the better option something is very wrong with the economy.While have you thought through the results of benefits not providing some level of decent protection and competition against further downward exploitation by employers.So you remove them or cut them to the bone resulting in loads of desperate workers over supplying the labour market even more and looking for as many hours as they can get to compensate for the low hourly rate.Do you really think that you’ll be immune from the resulting unemployment levels and wage level bonfire across the board.
Having said that I don’t think that anyone even has the choice to turn down an offer of full time employment confirmed by an employer,in favour of part time work and then continuing to make up the difference with benefits.
