I’m having a disconnect here. There are all sorts of intern programs. There’s publicity encouraging the learning experience, and sometimes the charity of it. Why was this winery singled out for minimum wage “abuse” attention from the government? Why not a bank, or a PAC?

Or a Congressman or Senator?

I agree. To be honest, if I had the time free, I would volunteer to work in a winery for several weeks if I could learn a lot about winemaking - and if they allowed nightly sampling.

Probably a larger competitor bitching about it. Big business loves regulation. Keeps the little guy from horning-in on the profits.

The reason is because the winery is not kicking enough upstairs to the Boss and that is tantamount to stealing from the family at least in the Boss's eyes. To not give the Boss his cut or steal from him is a quick way to end up dead.

I know it is a Mafia analogy but the .gov operates very similarly. They are the biggest gang in town except they dress better, usually.
