Fox Internship Lawsuits

Many young bright youth join internship programs to get an insight and feel around the career course of their pleasure, it's meant to be an educational experience and an enjoyable experience. But has Fox Searchlight taken it wrongly? Lawsuits were filed against this media giant because of interns who had worked under Fox in several of their productions, and were put to work more than they should have. There was proper I-9 type paperwork signed, yet these interns weren't paid as they should have been, especially with the workload had been placed on them. Several of the interns' lawyers want to expand the lawsuit to include the whole of Fox as well.

Being an intern is only for the experience and as a learning experience what it's like in the business they wish to pursue. Many interns are given lame, sometimes boring, sometimes fun, and sometimes stressful work. It doesn't mean that they should be treated as less than what they do just because they're in an internship. That really caught my attention at the fact that this media giant had taken advantage of their interns and just treated them horribly.
In the future, of many and I'm sure of many, they will seek internship as a way to learn the ropes. And I'm sure no one would enjoy being treated as bad as they were. Because if people are willing to put in a lot of time and effort and even take up employee jobs then they should at least be paid for their work done!
This article began rising questions in my mind about the film industry greatly. Are all other companies the same or is this just a problem in one company that needs fixing? What really bugs me is wondering how long this has been going on and if it has been going on for a while then why now? Why is it only now receiving attention?
