Ban unpaid internships
The economic fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic is creating huge new obstacles for young people trying to find quality jobs. The danger of exploitation is very real. It’s time to call unpaid internships by their true name: they are a form of labour exploitation and a violation of young people's rights. This is why we are campaigning to get unpaid internships and traineeships banned in European labour markets. Interns must be paid a minimum salary. We stand up for the right of millions of young Europeans to be treated fairly in the workplace and to improve their economic and social conditions. Youth rights belong at the top of the European Union's agenda.
