I believe if there is a minimum wage, unpaid internships should be illegal. CMV

Pretty self explanatory from the title. Unpaid internships are jobs that pay less than minimum wage. Therefore they should be illegal.

Any legal unpaid internship can't be called a job because it cannot benefit the company in any way. So if the company isn't benefitting from your work, why should you be paid?

Edit: Here are the criteria for an unpaid internship in the US. If your experience could impede on the company, why should you be paid?

1. The training, even though it includes actual operations of the facilities of the employers, is similar to that which would be given in a vocational school.

2. The training is for the benefit of the student.

3. The student does not displace a regular employee, but works under the close observation of a regular employee or supervisor.

4. The employer provides the training and derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the student; and on occasion, the operations may actually be impeded by the training.

5. The student is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training period.

6. The employer and the student understand that the student is not entitled to wages for the time spent training.
