When I go on the government website and log in to my UJM account I immediately do a jobsearch. I type in Cardiff for the location and usually it automatically finds jobs in a 20 mile radius of Cardiff. Of course it appears to do it in a straight line and ends up including jobs in Bristol, Weston,Cheddar and many other areas that are in fact a lot further away than 20 miles. We all know that Bristol is a lot more than 20 miles from Cardiff unless you can walk on water and move in a straight line. In the last week or so I have noticed that the number of these jobs in a 20 mile radius has dwindled from over 13k to under 10k. This probably means that less so called employment agencies are putting vast lists of old vacancies onto the website. One website that I am getting tired of is CV Library. I end up clicking on a link and find myself reading details of the vacancy that shows a posting date many days earlier than the one on the UJM website and then you have to register with CV Library before you can apply for the vacancy. It's bad enough that we have to put our CV at the mercy of Monster and have all our personal information spammed but to have to register with so many websites just to apply for a job posted on the UJM website is wrong. The government should make sure that any job posted on the UJM website should be available to the unemployed to apply for without having to register with anyone else. So many websites are advertising old jobs just to get more hits and it's like a game that we the unemployed are forced to play. Recently a number of instances have occurred regarding people applying for more jobs than the minimum required but have received a sanction because they didn't apply for enough over the week. It's easy to think of a fortnightly signing and applying for jobs over that fortnight but it's important to remember that we have weekly targets and not fortnightly ones. I'm not fully sure regarding when one week ends and the other starts. For example, say you sign on a monday, does that mean that the monday you sign is part of the week just gone or the start of the next week and the following monday might be the end of the first week or the start of the second week. I play it safe and make sure that I apply for more than the minimum the days after I sign and before the week ends and start the whole process again after the week is complete. Now we are fast approaching April and the start of the community action or workfare. It is surely going to take time to get it up and running fully on a national scale but I'm sure many people working for the government will want to push as many as possible down that route and I'm convinced that I will be an early victim of workfare. I will report on here what happens to me over the next few months. If workfare does start for the masses then it will be no turning back whoever wins the next election. Workfare is a form of slavery as a person is working for nothing more than food and lodging. If big companies can obtain free labour then with profit in mind they will not employ those people and we will experience workfare for several months each year until we reach retirement. To some extent people have accepted foodbanks in Britain on a major scale. The poor don't have a political party to protect them anymore and our right to vote has very little importance with no decent party to vote for.
