If they are willing to work for free, let them. Leave it to the liberals to take away an opportunity to gain valuable experience and trust from an employer, "for your good!"

Its the same with raising the minimum wage. stores won't hire the same amount of baggers and pay them more, they'll hire half as many and work them harder. Those on the left are uniformly ignorant of basic economics.

There was a thread on there just a few weeks ago about graduates who got their degrees in Fashion Marketing, being forced to work "internships" for free. They were working 40-50 hours a week, getting coffee, picking up trash - on an "internship" program that provided neither training, experience nor any benefits whatsoever.

This amounts to extortion - and before you say that there are no jobs for this degree, I suggest you look at your local Kohls, Walmart, Macey's, Dillards, Foley's, Target, Shopko, Target, Sears, Penny's and even Costco and Sam's Club. The stores sell and display various goods the way they do for a reason. It doesn't happen by accident. There are untold thousands of people behind the scenes, making these decisions. To prey upon these folks, and that is what the free internshi programs are - is nothing more than a step into indentured servatitude.

Now, if they want to pay them minumum wage, and have them work like any other person; until they EARN their position - that's fine. But, demanding "Free" work, without pay, benefits, time-off - is simply economic slavery.
