Julie could be breaking the law by having an unpaid intern -

Dear Julie

I see you are advertising a Job Opportunity which may be exploitation - as few can afford to work for nothing and certainly will exclude those most disadvantaged like women with children and disabled people.

I only mention this as I saw that you were advertising for
" a part time unpaid (bar lunch and travelling expenses) volunteer intern at her constituency office in Whitchurch, Cardiff. The role will include dealing with constituents over the telephone, assisting the Senior Caseworker in a range of interesting and challenging casework, monitoring EDMs and reporting to Julie, together with general administrative tasks. The closing date for applications is Friday 23 March. http://juliemorgan.typepad.com/julie_morgan_mp/

TUC welcomed a review of minimum wage and interns.

The TUC demanded a Low Pay Commission probe into the employment of young workers on unpaid internships. The TUC says it does not want to block genuine work experience but it fears the system could lead to exploitation. It follows concerns MPs' offices may have broken minimum wage legislation by advertising for interns to work unpaid.
And evidence to the commission shows many firms are demanding long periods of unpaid work as a price of entry to the sector.

This could be regarded as exploitation rather than opportunity, the TUC said.
The adverts placed by MPs staff for interns required candidates to be available five days a week and have good office skills but did not offer any pay.
The House of Commons' guidelines on the use of graduates are now being rewritten.
BBC labour affairs correspondent Stephen Cape said the matter was a "grey area of law".

FYI Julie
Customs staff were due to issue guidance to the House of Commons following newspaper reports that some MPs could be breaking minimum wage laws in the employment of interns.
Reports said interns could be eligible for the minimum wage if they were obliged to work set hours. A spokeswoman for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs said: "HMRC and the Department of Trade and Industry have worked with the Department of Finance and Administration in the House of Commons on guidance for MPs, as small employers, on placing interns and the minimum wage.

MPs face inquiry over unpaid internships
David Hencke, Westminster correspondent Guardian Unlimited

MPs are to face an investigation by Revenue and Customs for allegedly breaking the minimum wage laws by hiring young people as unpaid interns to work in the offices in parliament and their constituencies. The move is part of a crackdown - that could also hit the media and film industries - to tighten rules on the employment of interns who are then obliged to work office hours or given specific responsibilities.
