@kylethomasmarshall: Week 7: Energy exchange programs are illegal. Studios frame them as “community” but the law is clear: for-profit businesses cannot use volunteers. If you clean, work the desk, or do any labor, you’re an employee and must be paid at least minimum wage in money, not yoga classes. If you’re in one of these programs, you can file a wage complaint: 🇺🇸 U.S. Department of Labor dol.gov/agencies/whd/contact/complaints 🇨🇦 Canada Provincial employment standards Ontario: Ministry of Labour BC: Employment Standards Branch Quebec: CNESST others: search “[province] employment standards complaint”. Studios save thousands by cutting paid jobs while exploiting workers under the guise of “spirituality.” Don’t let them. Have you seen these programs at your studio? Tell me in the comments. #LaborRights #YogaIndustry #FairWage #WorkersRights #EnergyExchange #WageTheft #KnowYourRights
