Within the framework of International Youth Day, the General Union of Workers denounces that fraud in non-work practices costs more than 1.5 billion euros to Social Security. The data, coming from a study carried out by Revolución Ugetista (RUGE), show a normalization of fraud in non-labor practice agreements whose strategy consists of trying to hide the existence of labor relations. The study indicates that companies offer non-work internship positions , and pass off young people who are not enrolled in any formal training as intern students, when in reality they are carrying out effective work. These people are thus forced to enroll in an online course that usually costs about 200 euros out of their pocket.
