Uphold student labor rights

A large company in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has hired up to 1,200 interns, which surpasses its number of full-time employees. It has become a well-known "secret" that some big companies are using cheap labor, such as interns, to reduce their rising labor costs, says an article in China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

It should be a win-win situation for students to work as interns in companies to get work experience and become familiar with the work environment. The company benefits from the internship because it does not have to sign a labor contract, so do the schools, as they can save on teaching resources and earn a middleman's fee. The students are the only party whose interests get hurt.
