"In a memo from Duriya Farooqui, the city’s chief operating officer, to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, it was clear the city was running out of patience — saying the project is at a “critical stage” and that the design work must be finalized so the project can continue on schedule. - See more at: http://saportareport.com/blog/2013/06/city-of-atlanta-proposes-moving-martin-luther-king-jr-drive-to-avoid-buying-friendship-church/#sthash.42vB8pPB.dpuf.

Companies may rethink unpaid internships

Companies may rethink unpaid internships

Christopher Seward in the above listed article raises the question, “If an intern is willing to do the same work as employees to get the experience, but not get paid, should the company be able to offer such a position without the threat of a lawsuit?"  It is Drew's view that the U. S. Department of Labor should require an extensive review of unpaid and or minimally monetarily compensated internships and externships that are not involved with schools and educational programs. Is the use of unpaid and/or minimally monetarily compensated interns/externs exploitation by businesses, when interns willingly work to gain experience or work with  hope that this work will lead to paid employment?  What are your VIEWS?
