Closed petition Stricter control of internships to stop misuse of free labour by employers.
Closed on
As a graduate we are expected to do ATLEAST a years worth of free internships, however a lot of these 'internships' are full time jobs but unpaid.
The current laws are too vague and open to abuse by unscrupulous employers to basically get free labour.
