Thanks for that clarification. Perhaps it should be made clear right up front on the website which seems to be silent on the matter, and there is so much confusion in the media and community, rather than waiting for people to ask after they get onsite.
I think it should also be made very very clear on the "Volunteer" page since people are providing their labour, travel and time to benefit a company's increased profit in exchange for a free ticket, and not providing their labour as a contribution to a charity. I see "volunteers" also need to work shifts ( min 3 hours) and need to register their credit card. If they can't do all the labour they are rostered for some reason, they will be charged.
To be honest, I would be astounded "Volunteers" can be used for working for a company that makes a profit where fees apply for not doing every shifts.
I am sure some people would be happy to provide labour in exchange for a ticket, however many like myself would definitely not volunteer, if that is the correct term, knowing that their efforts are free labour to a profit making venture. Either way it isn't volunteering, it is providing labour in return for a free ticket
I just think you have a responsibility to the community to clear it up, especially as you call it "volunteer work". For example, is it a workplace?
I can't understand why it isn't addressed up front and has to be questioned.
