Internships: Retail & Fast Food

The Federal Government policy of internships for young workers at Fast Food outlets came under fire over the Christmas period when it was found a job search agency was fielding young workers under the internship program to cover holiday vacancies at a fast food outlet. We speak to Josh Cullinan from the Fast Food and Retail Workers Union (RAFFWU) for an insight into the issues surround the internship program for young workers. We follow this with a report on the local support for Irish nurses who are going on strike for better wages and conditions on January 30th.
