Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi all Anyone Know the position vis a vis Vegans and the Jobseekers Allowance. My adviser at Darwen JobCentre Plus has refused to sign my Jobseekers Agreement (thereby making me ineligable for any benefits whatsover) as I have a clause in there saying I am Vegan and therefore will not work in slaughterhouses etc The agreement has gone to adjudication for a decision as to whether such a concience clause is "reasonable". I always thought that no-one would be forced to apply for positions they find immoral, (but I have been told on several occasions by certain members of staff at Darwen JobCentre that, in their opinion, being a Vegan is not a valid reason for refusing to apply for jobs in the office at local meat packing plants and leather processers, only jobs which involve directly handling the nefarious products. Anyway, anyone any ideas? Peace Kev :-( To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Security Centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
