"The show's own Web site<br>makes clear that 'interns are highly involved with every<br>aspect of running a daily television show.' "<br><br><br>Document: Complaint Against Charlie Rose<br>The lawsuit said Ms. Bickerton, a 2008 graduate of<br>Wesleyan University, had various responsibilities at the<br>show, including providing background research for Mr.<br>Rose about interview guests, assembling press packets,<br>escorting guests through the studio, breaking down the<br>interview set after daily filming and cleaning up the<br>green room.<br><br>"Despite the significant work they perform, 'Charlie<br>Rose' interns are not compensated for any of their<br>work," the lawsuit said.<br><br>Paul C. Curnin, a lawyer for Charlie Rose Inc. and a<br>partner at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, said: "We will<br>review the complaint and respond. We are confident that<br>Charlie Rose Inc.'s employment practices are<br>appropriate."<br><br>The lawsuit noted that unpaid internships have<br>proliferated among many white-collar professions,<br>including film, journalism, fashion and book publishing.<br>Elizabeth Wagoner, a lawyer for Ms. Bickerton, said:<br>"Systematic violation of federal and state laws that<br>coverage internships appears all too common at some<br>media companies. More and more unpaid interns are<br>standing up for their right to earn a wage for their<br>work."<br><br>Labor experts say hundreds of thousands of young<br>Americans work as unpaid interns each year as they seek<br>to gain experience and get a foot in the door with<br>coveted employers or within coveted industries. But some<br>interns and worker advocates maintain that many<br>employers who use unpaid interns are violating federal<br>and state labor laws by using them essentially to do the<br>jobs of other workers and by not providing a bona fide<br>educational experience.<br><br>Ms. Bickerton's lawsuit states that according to the New<br>York State Department of Labor, "an unpaid internship is<br>only lawful in the context of an educational training<br>program, when the interns do not perform productive work<br>and the employer derives no benefit." The lawsuit cites<br>guidance from the state Labor Department that says: "If<br>an employer uses trainees as substitutes for regular<br>workers or to augment its existing work force during<br>specific times or in general, these interns would be<br>treated as employees."<br><br>Ms. Wagoner said the lawsuit was filed under New York<br>State law rather than federal law because the state<br>allows suits over wage violations that go back six<br>years, while federal wage law sets a three-year limit.<br><br>Many employers defend the use of unpaid internships,<br>saying that the interns often voluntarily and<br>enthusiastically agreed to take the positions and that<br>the internships are a valuable educational experience.<br>Employers also often contend that the labor guidelines<br>are ambiguous and largely obsolete for today's rapidly<br>changing workforce.<br><br>Ms. Bickerton's lawsuit criticizes the whole system of<br>unpaid internships, saying: "Employers' failure to<br>compensate interns for their work, and the prevalence of<br>the practice nationwide, curtails opportunities for<br>employment, fosters class divisions between those who<br>can afford to work for no wage and those who cannot, and<br>indirectly contributes to rising unemployment."<br><br>Last month, Outten & Golden filed a lawsuit on behalf of<br>a former unpaid intern for the fashion magazine Harper's<br>Bazaar, accusing its parent company, the Hearst<br>Corporation, of violating wage laws by not paying her<br>even though she often worked there full time. Last<br>September, the law firm filed a lawsuit against Fox<br>Searchlight Pictures, asserting that it violated wage<br>laws by using unpaid interns on "Black Swan" and other<br>films. Hearst Corporation and Fox Searchlight have<br>denied any wrongdoing.<br><br>Adam Klein, one of Ms. Bickerton's lawyers, said: "This<br>lawsuit should send a clear message to employers that<br>the practice of classifying employees as interns to<br>avoid paying wages runs afoul of federal and state wage<br>and hour laws."<br><br>____________________________________________<br><br>PortsideLabor aims to provide material of interest to<br>people on the left that will help them to interpret the<br>world and to change it.<br></pre><pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><br></pre></div><div>@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@</div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div style="border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding-top: 3pt; padding-right: 0in; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; "><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 19px; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "><b style="font-weight: bold; ">Subject:</b> Keeping Up the Pressure on Escondido by Commenting Online or By Writing a Letter to The Editor</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 19px; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> </p><p style="line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 19px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Dear Allies/Friends,</span></p><p style="line-height: 20px; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 19px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Your help is important in keeping up the pressure on Escondido by commenting online or by writing a letter to the editor!

El rechazo es justificable dado el hecho de que esta misma burocracia respaldo la conformación de a nueva central sindical, como si fueran ellos garantes de las luchas obreras, mientras persiguen y despiden a quienes intentan luchar por las reivindicaciones y se inventan nuevas formas de tercerización y explotación como los llamados cargos HP (Honorarios Profesionales) y políticas anti sindicales de todo tipo.</p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "> </p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "><strong style="font-weight: bold; ">La nueva central, la burocracia y la nueva (LOT)</strong></p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "><img alt="logo_unete" src="http://www.luchadeclases.org.ve/images/stories/logo_unete.jpg" width="202" height="155">Crear una central nueva y dividir en lugar de fortalecer no soluciona los problemas de los trabajadores. Buena parte de las demandas que el movimiento obrero reclama pueden tener respuesta con la aprobación de una nueva Ley Orgánica del Trabajo (LOT). Este es el pilar fundamental propagandístico utilizado para ser mostrado como un logro de la nueva central, obviando el hecho de que la vanguardia del mvomiento obrero por medio de la UNT, llevaba meses discutiendo el proyecto de Ley y tiene años luchando, esperando y exigiendo que se apruebe.</p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; ">Durante todo el pasado periodo parlamentario, tuvimos la mayoría absoluta de la Asamblea Nacional. ¿Por qué no se aprobó la LOT? Sencillo, no había interés en que así fuera. De hecho es claro y notorio que en cuanto al tema laboral, el control obrero y las formas de gestión de las empresas nacionalizadas los intereses de la burocracia se parecen más a los de la burguesía que a los de la propia clase trabajdora. Es por eso que ni siquiera se reformo la LOT y mucho menos el Código de Comercio que tiene más de un siglo y es icono del capitalismo venezolano.</p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "><img alt="Proclamacin-de-Diputados-del-PSUV-por-Caracas4" src="http://www.luchadeclases.org.ve/images/stories/Proclamacin-de-Diputados-del-PSUV-por-Caracas4.jpg" width="423" height="288">Por la Asamblea Nacional vimos pasearse leyes como la Ley de Educación, la de Responsabilidad social en Radio y TV, y la Ley de Educación superior, entre un largo etc. Leyes cuyo impacto real no es muy evidente. Pero por otro lado es precisamente el código de comercio el que deja en manos del capital las decisiones más importantes sobre que, como y con que se estudia en el país, a que mercado laboral salen nuestros estudiantes, que tipo de programación se transmite en Radio y TV y quien controla los pecios y la economía real. Es así como los banqueros, los monopolios industriales y comerciales, los terratenientes y los dueños de los medios de comunicación, deciden en que, cuando y en manos de quien se invierte el capital producido por los trabajadores y trabajadoras venezolanas. Estas decisiones se toman en las juntas administrativas de cada figura jurídica, de acuerdo a la capacidad accionaria de cada socio. Es decir de acuerdo a quien maneje mayor capital.</p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; ">Un ejemplo claro de esto es que el Estado, aún teniendo un porcentaje de las acciones de Globovisión, no puede tomar ninguna decisión sobre cómo funciona la planta sea cual fuera el representante del Estado nombrado por el Ministro. De igual manera es lo que permite a los ministros nombrar juntas directivas en las empresas del Estado que imponen su voluntad a discreción de sus intereses y no, de los interes reales de la clase obrera. Así funciona la democracia burguesa. Es el punto en el cual se encuentran los intereses de la burocracia y de la burguesía, es donde hacen frente único contra los trabajadores y trabajadoras. Intereses de Clase, es esa la razón por la cual hasta ahora no se ha reformado la LOT ni el Código de comercio.<strong style="font-weight: bold; "> </strong></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "><strong style="font-weight: bold; ">La autonomía</strong></p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; "><img alt="Marcano_FBT" src="http://www.luchadeclases.org.ve/images/stories/Marcano_FBT.png" width="300" height="320">La burocracia del Estado es uno de los violadores de los derechos de las y los trabajadores, y frente a un escenario de cobijo burocrático como en el que se conformo la nueva central, la cuestión de la autonomía es un punto clave. La autonomía debe surgir de la participación de las y los trabajadores, quienes legitiman a sus dirigentes a través del voto, y no cuando son nombrados ejecutivamente. Sin embargo, la gran mayoría de sindicatos de base que están participando en la nueva central, son sindicatos clasistas, que una vez más están confiando en que podrán hacer valer su participación, y es una aspiración legítima. Ser sectarios al respecto y calificar de patronales a los camaradas que se han afiliado a dicha central seria hacer efectivo el propósito para lo cual fue creada (dividir).</p><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><div style="text-align: justify; "></div><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; ">Por el contrario los y las camaradas deben ser llamados constantemente de forma compañera al debate, más sobre las ideas que sobre las estructuras y sin ningún señalamiento, sin ningún complejo, sin ningún temor. Si la burocracia esta tan cuestionada dentro del partido, será cuestión de tiempo para que lo mismo suceda en la nueva central. Los objetivos deben ser la unidad de los trabajadores en lucha, contra los capitalistas y contra la burocracia. Los trabajadores deben ser llamados a debatir en su conjunto la LOT en temas muy específicos y en los cuales estamos de acuerdo. El Control Obrero, la reducción de la jornada laboral, la seguridad y salud en el trabajo, los retardos procesales y demás. Finalmente el logro de los objetivos dependerá de la relación que hayamos forjado con su base. Es un error grave caer en el juego divisionista.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; "> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.35em; "><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div>@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@</div><div><br></div><div><h3 style="line-height: 15px; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 110, 18) !important; font-family: georgia, serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=4z5Q7LhI+KVBjmEgFdYACPLKh239P3pgrqVpfThAvnedvCJorKS4KR91pzxl/AgZ4y3Cb9xO82o5AJevYhRBJ5IAyMqStmBLlvuxTJOY2+EXUTZDqAPqS1ebW8kV5iIH3gmPKkpNAoiUVKF5RWlgDCmko98sJ1nB&campaign_id=129&instance_id=13635&segment_id=30872&user_id=cb75b2a897725ed20d4752e3e3bc8e8a" target="_blank" style="line-height: 18px; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 110, 18) !important; cursor: pointer; ">Capitalism, Version 2012</a></h3><h6 style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(153, 153, 153); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">By THOMAS L.
