SC bill would require the unemployed to Volunteer to receive benefits.
The senior attorney of the National Employment Law Project says Campbell's bill conflicts with federal law. George Wentworth says it also feeds negative stereotypes of the unemployed.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- If unemployed workers in South Carolina can't find a job in six months, they would have to volunteer 16 hours weekly to continue getting a check under a bill up for debate by a Senate panel.
One women on the news, complained she would have to pay for daycare for her two kids...while she volunteered...
Wouldn't she also have to pay for daycare for her two kids if she got a job?
Why couldn't she find someone to watch her kids for 16 hours a week? I don't think the law would say she had to do volunteer work on set days or at set times. Where is the father of the children?
16 hours is a lot of job search time. Two whole working days
