Campaigners plan to protest outside an East London Tesco store on Monday after the firm advertised for a night-shift worker paying JSA plus expenses.
The ad, which appeared on the Jobcentre Plus website in East Anglia, provoked a flurry of protest yesterday.
The post was advertised as part of the government’s sector based work academies programme which, according to its publicity brochure, offers pre-employment training, relevant to your business or sector, a work experience placement and a guaranteed job interview.
The protest is being organised by the Waltham Forest Anti-Cuts Union and Youth Fight for Jobs.
A spokeswoman said: “More than two and a half million people are unemployed, more than a million of them young.
“The government and local councils, including in Waltham Forest, are cutting jobs left, right and centre.
“They say the private sector will come to the rescue but, despite still making huge profits, big companies refuse to hire more people.
“Instead, the government sends them unemployed people to work for free or risk losing their benefits.”
The protest will take place on Monday, February 20, 6pm outside Leytonstone Tesco, Gainsborough Road, E11.
