Petition Ban the use of unpaid trial shifts

I want the Government to make unpaid trial shifts illegal. Workers are being exploited and working for a week or more without payment, and not even getting the job. Employers even use this as a regular means of staffing workplaces with zero labour costs. A minimum wage is what it says.

More details

Because increasingly not just young people in cafes, but in bigger stores and cleaning companies, are taking on staff, telling them all it is a trial, not paying, getting their work done for free, and leaving desperate people without money or hope.
