I have reason to believe from a reliable source that the Department of Labor would like to talk to individuals who have present/past experience volunteering at Landmark Education in any capacity.

The contact person at the United States Department of Labor is:

[b:f409379c51]Rebecca Clark, United States Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division
clark.rebecca@dol.gov = email

415-744-5590 extension 240 = phone, or ask for Rebecca[/b:f409379c51]

If anyone knows of other quick ways to disseminate this information out there (press/media, other related message boards, etc.) - that would be great.

Here's a classic example of how landmark uses and twists any 'opportunity' they can get their hooks on...only, this one probably doesn't know landmark's interpretation of 'volunteer'...

Craigslist would make an excellent venue for passing on this information.

I posted on NYC CL a few days back and it is actually still there!

I hope americans do this, I believe once the base of landmark is hit it will impact around the world.

There are comparable labour laws for unpaid volunteers who may be actually considered employees in other countries as well.

Might be interesting for residents of those countries to contact their local departments to inquire and/or register a complaint:

[b:c1581daab6]Ministry of Labour, British Columbia, Canada[/b:c1581daab6]
[www.gov.bc.ca]

[b:c1581daab6]Ministry of Labour, Ontario, Canada[/b:c1581daab6]
[www.labour.gov.on.ca]

[b:c1581daab6]Department for Work and Pensions, Britain[/b:c1581daab6]
[www.dwp.gov.uk]

Now that we know that there have been investigations by the Federal government in the United States and France - one wonders if there have already been investigations into unpaid labour practices by other countries' Federal governments and the equivalents of their Department of Labor as well...???

Interesting new section at the Landmark database on the Rick Ross site:

It's called Labor Violations Investigations

U.S. Department of Labor in Texas response Freedom of Information Act request

U.S. Department of Labor investigation of Landmark Education in Dallas, Texas assigned

U.S. Department of Labor investigation of Landmark Education in Denver, Colorado report completed

Thanks for the links ajinajan but what landmark is doing is not considered illegal in my country. In fact unemployed are given the suggestion of telling a company they will volunteer to get experience. America is really the country that needs to be hit. You hit there and you impace world head quarters for Landmark and that is when you will see worldwide change
