UK told to pay more into Europe

[Ako Si Jamie]

I know a lot of people who got work from YTS, and it worked as planned. They should bring it back, as it is education and experience. Instead of giving people dole to sit at home.

In my day, approximately the same amount (£26 p/w) was given to those on the dole with a measly tenner being contributed by the employer with the taxpayer coughing up the rest. No prizes for guessing who got the best deal.

There were many unscrupulous employers too who used these youngsters as a way of gaining cheap labour with no intentions of offering them anything more once the scheme had ended.

YTS was slave labour masked over with a pretentious name.
