If you thought nothing could beat the flexing of the 1990s with low-wage paid internships, you weren’t right. It is that the government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta launched an educational program that makes students go, under the excuse of training, to work in supermarkets.
The difference with the internships is that now, instead of a salary below the agreed price, they do it directly for free.
This week the photo went viral, presumably showing a student from the Gabriela Mistral public school in Caballito, who works at Carrefour in Córdoba and Montevideo. “It is free labor and free advertising for companies carried out by students who cannot choose,” they questioned on the networks.
