The Interns' Revolution

Words of the Intern

"Even as a waiter I earned more."

"I work from 8 am until 6 pm daily, except for Fridays. And
sometimes I even stay passed those working hours," said yesterday
A.T, an intern in a law firm of tort law.
"For every hour of work I earn only 20 shekel (an hour) [in a
month], in additional payment of traveling according to the bus
fare, and the hours make it impossible [to have] another job in
order to complete my income."
"Whether you work 8 hours a day or stay in the office more than 12
consecutive hours, you receive the same sum. There are no extra
hours. There are no socio-economic conditions, no pension, no
provident fund, no parking or sharing expenses of food and gas.
The sum that I make in a month does not cover even my car
expenses, not to mention [talk] rent and regular expenses."
"To get a haircut costs money. Toothpaste costs money, also going
out once in a while, in order to clear the head from the difficult job
and the daily troubles costs money- a lot.
My standard of living has gone down drastically since I've started
interning, and I really hope that the change will happen and that it
will be significant. I never earned minimum wage for my skills,
even as a waiter I earned more."
