Quote:Quote:What about all the unemployed that would have had their benefits removed if they did not 'volunteer'?
I have no issue with the concept,but in reality such people would probably be exploited.
Here in Oz we have 'work for the dole'. Restricted to able bodied people between 18-25 years. An utter waste of time,as they are severely limited in what hey can actually do. This is because of (1) employers dying to exploit them and (2) unions worried they will take paid work from members.
Here during the 2000 Sydney games,there were many times more volunteers than were needed. My nephew was a driver,and had the time of his life. I suspect claims about the Brit unemployed may be exaggerated. Perhaps they were ALLOWED to volunteer?
