Closed petition Ban all unpaid work trials
Closed on
I want the Government to make it clear in law that businesses cannot have people on unpaid work trials, and that anyone in a work trial must be paid. Currently, companies are able to trial people, and have them work all day for free, and then not employ them or even contact back.
I want the Government ban unpaid work trials to ensure that people cannot be legally exploited for free labour.
