      Unpaid work in exchange for Social benefits (=money), soooo kinda like a normal job, but with shit salary?

      Edit. Not saying this is good or bad, but just trying to understand if they’re looking to start some kind of government job program that provides work for people?
      As I understood, the problem is not (usually) that people don’t want to work, but that they can’t find a job.

      This would be great. Actual (albeit non-useful) work to pad my CV? Sign me up.

      That is slavery. If there is a need for work to be done, employ people to do it.

      Ah yes, besides the obvious moral issues they want to create a situation where a foreigner can legally do the job much cheaper.

      Not the first time PS tries to fuck over Finnish workers.

      Sounds like just a way to circumvent the collective labor agreements and get access to labor you can more easily abuse. Seems like something KOK/Persu would plan to exploit immigrants as much as possible, while still keeping them around to be the scapegoat for whatever problem they don’t want to or can’t fix.

      [„Defenders of slavery argued that by comparison with the poor of Europe and the workers in the Northern states, that slaves were better cared for. They said that their owners would protect and assist them when they were sick and aged, unlike those who, once fired from their work, were left to fend helplessly for themselves.“](https://www.ushistory.org/us/27f.asp)

      Can’t wait for the government to unironically start saying that „life is better here, so it’s fine if we abuse the unpaid workforce just a little“

      I’m guessing the main goal here has nothing to do with getting cheap labour like many comments mentioned. If it’s the same type of work long-term unemployed Finns are offered, it’s more like rehab than particularly productive work. Therefore it’s much more likely that the aim is to make Finland less attractive to immigrants who cannot get or do not want real jobs. So basically a deterrent.

      Ok I have to be honest, I am having one of this moment. I can already imagine all the downvotes.

      Now I am thinking the same things that everyone is thinking, slavery, indentured servitude, perhaps similar or worse than kafala system. I am aware that there are more wrong ways to do this and I’m pretty sure that it’s gonna be implemented very poorly that it will probably be labor law violation at best and severe human rights violation at worst.

      But on the other hand…

      I know a few bad examples of very healthy adults that have done nothing than go to the mandatory classes seminars organised by TE palvelu, (which is apparently about how to write cv and how to do interview), and botch job interviews for closer to a decade now (and boast about it) and I mean both native Finns and Foreigners (naturalized as well as PRs) . I mean if you’re unemployed for lets say 2 years continuously, and you have no health issues, maybe you should do some community service at least at the rate of minimum wage (maybe every other month)?

      Don’t think this is gonna  be just for immigrants, this is certainly more stepping down with the way the unemployed are treated in this country. The Right knows that the issue is not with having uneducated (immigrant) workforce, it is about not having jobs available (and plenty of studies  showed that companies dont wanna hire immigrants regardless how qualified they are). 

      You can force the unemployed to slave away with tiny income (which is not salary for the work they’re doing but free labour for unemployement benefits which is basically a scam to avoid paying salary for work) but I don’t see how having thousands of people unable to buy anything or pay anything substantial in taxes are able to contribute in running the society. And with the tax cuts to the politicians and their wealthy friends it’s not like they’re gonna pay off the slack of having a slave-labour class. Unless they start bringing even more slave labour from abroad , but considering how outside of refugees, most immigrants can just move away, and go work in jobs in countries where they’d actually get hired regardless how foreign their name or dark their skin.

      She’s completely insane.
      More absurd propaganda for their dumb electors just because she’s scared of losing next elections thanks of the horrible way she destroyed Finnish economy.

      Finlands problem is lack of available jobs. How about government does something about that?
