Union campaigning

The NUJ runs an ongoing campaign called Cashback for interns, supporting members who want to bring a claim to recover the National Minimum Wage after working without pay. Details are available from the NUJ website (www.nuj.org.uk/campaigns/cashback-for-interns).

The TUC also has a website Rights for Interns: www.rightsforinterns.org.uk containing guidance and useful sources and links, as well as a Rights for Interns App. Note that deadlines for tribunal claims are very short.
