UK – Are Jobcentre’s demands helping job search ?

A JOBSEEKER claims he is being discriminated against because he has voiced his objections to “draconian” demands.

Peter Styles says that a requirement to sign on every day in segregation with a member of staff behind Perspex glass at a Jobcentre is hindering his search for a job.

The 43-year-old has appealed against the decision to make him sign on daily, registered a complaint and published a blog which had thousands of hits within a day.

A Government spokeswoman defended the process and said jobseekers should approach job hunting as they would a nine to five job.
