if people want to work for free let them. Its a business arrangement between the employee and employer. Its not forced. If the employee is just working for free without planning on getting something valuable enough out of it to for go the wages, well they're idiots. and i doubt their services will be worth a damn.
But hey if laws come in forcing people to get paid. Pay them minimum wage and work part-time so no benefits are necessary. Should only bring down the salaries above the people higher if the minimum wages are working out.

So we should have the freedom to be slaves? Sounds awesome.
I think you ignore the fact that people can be forced into these kinds of "jobs" by economic circumstances, or simply by custom. Companies would probably love to make it standard for people to work for no wage to get their foot in the door, after all there is no real downside for them. More profits.

If you're dumb enough to be a slave and value pay only in dollars sure. In most cases its a win/win. Why try to create laws only making it harder for kids out of school trying to get jobs. You seem to think of it simply as a way to hurt companies profits and think magically employees will get paid more. Companies will get free interns doing it for school credit with more years until finished leaving them as a non option. Plus those interns usually suck more and wont be looking for a job. How does that help kids looking for a job out of school get the experience and work towards a job. Best thing you can do is let it be. Let people make there own decisions and worry bout yourself.

I especially enjoyed how they titled the third part "The challenges of hiring and managing modern day serfs" and then proceeded to include zero irony in the actual text itself.
