Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi all The problems have started again. Today I had to re-negotiate my Jobseekers Agreement and when I asked for the following concience clause to be inserted I was refused. "I am Vegan and refuse to work within the animal products industy". My adviser insisted upon the use of the phrase "I refuse to work directly with animal products". I attended an interview on Tuesday at an establishment which, it transpired, sold leather furnature, the smell of which made me feel ill. I refused to take the application further. I was told by my adviser that, in her opinion, I cannot refuse such employment, only those jobs involving the actual manufacturing: Therefore I have refused employment without just cause. Of course both the Jobseekers Agreement and the "refusal of employment" have gone to the adjudicator, but I am not hopeful. 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...
