[QUOTE="Dave Stevens, post: 39923, member: 142"] Re: Interns, and the use thereof If you were doing the same work in the shop that everyone else was for less than min wage or free your employer broke the law. By law an internship where you are not paid is to be for educational purposes only and not contribute to the for profit commerce. For example, I can teach you how to load a truck, I can't legally have you load a truck bound for a gig and not pay you. States vary but the gist is if you aren't paying someone, you can't legally have them do for profit work. You have to use the internship as a teaching exercise. Even then, I see and hear about it all the time having folks do gigs and shop work as "interns". Still doesn't make it legal. And way back when I did it myself until I figured out I was being used.
