Minister Burton to host ‘serfdom seminars’ to promote free labour

Labour Party Minister Joan Burton is planning to host what can only be called serfdom seminars to promote free labour schemes like JobBridge and encourage companies to take advantage of state hand-outs to help drive down wages. 

Last month the Revenue Commission emailed companies across the country to advertise meetings with the Minister where she will advise them on the best ways to exploit the unemployed through JobBridge and how they can use schemes like JobsPlus to drive down wages and displace workers who they currently have to pay a full wage to. As if employers weren’t already open to the idea of getting free interns or driving down wages, the Minister is having these meetings to put it on a plate for them.
