It’s a good thing that California didn’t split into six states. Can you imagine six Californian states?
Guess they should call them interns in the future...just like the government does...
Should’ve claimed it was a wine making school and charged $1 tuition.
Example of communists California at work. This State is trashed by the communists democrats.
Crazy.
So two people can’t form their own private contract between themselves anymore without the state becoming involved. It’s their choice if the “worker” wants to exchange his labor not for money but for a good or service. Or at least it should be. Of course if such a barter takes place the state loses out on its cut (like a mobster cheated out of protection money).
That’s what this is. It’s racketeering on the part of the state. They even say so themselves when they justify their oppression by crying “What if someone gets hurt while on the job?”
Absolutely un-American. Sad what’s happened to this family and their country.
From the article:
“As regionally syndicated talk show host Joe Getty puts it, the State of California is like the Mafia: they want a cut of everything that goes on in its turf. And like the Mafia, it will destsroy those who refuse to give them a cut.”
Nailed it right there.
“You didn’t make that”!
Make every volunteer purchase a .001% share in the company first. Then they aren’t employees, they are self employed small business owners working for their stake in their business.
It’s sad that people cannot make their own decisions about volunteer labor but at least we can all take comfort in the fact the in California everybody is working legally, getting paid above the table, and paying their taxes.
California seems bent on state suicide.
The State of California doesn’t have anything better to do than that? Geez
It seems to me that giving a free education course and a bottle of the finished product is just compensation.
I would like to post this 1,000 times for emphasis, but since Freepers know it, once will do, so here goes:

Can they put Michael Moore out of business?
Using that logic then the State should pay tax payers!
Does anyone know if this internship is a paid position?

Did ACORN or does it’s new incarnation pay it’s volunteers?
That’s a fine model for generating business.
islamists in the legislature!
I only hope it was”Stretch”Pelosi’s or Barbara”Shorty”Boxer’s?????????????????
And, he added, “It isn’t fair to wineries that are paying their employees
And heaven above know that it’s the states job to promote fairness even to the point of destroying a business.
