A graduate is taking legal action against the government over a scheme which she says forces people to do unpaid work. Cait Reilly, a University of Birmingham geology graduate, is currently trying to find work in the museum sector. The 22-year-old said she had to work for free at a Poundland store for two weeks or risk losing her benefits. She is seeking a judicial review. Poundland said the scheme is operated in partnership with the government. |
