Why do people who love the Big Nanny State Government feel that they have to tell the rest of us how to live our lives? Is it their inferiority complex?

Apparently your labor is the opposite of your sexuality in California: You can sell it, but you can't give it away for free.
California has a state law that prohibits for-profit companies from using volunteer labor. Anybody who knows anything about employment economics knows that this isn't going to hit those big, dastardly corporations that people hate. No, it's going to end up destroying small wineries like Westover Winery in Castro Valley.
The problem here is the state isn't getting it's cut. For example they could charge a fee for the experience but also pay them, that of course involves mountains of paperwork, taxes...perhaps some state mandated benefits. Maybe get a union going. LOL
Did you miss the part where the volunteers chose to not be paid for their labor?
Do you know what "volunteer" means?
Do you know what "for profit" means? They should be making enough profit to tell those that wish to volunteer that they will actually get paid for their hours of service.
Yes, and I have seen interns be paid for their work because having people work for free is called abusing the workforce.
Well thats your opinion, many interns call it a valuable learning experience i.e. education.
