BBC's Rip-Off Britain investigates unpaid work trials

BBC's Rip Off Britain met jobseekers who have been left out of pocket and wondering if a line has been crossed between work experience and exploitation.

The daytime programme also spoke to Stewart McDonald MP about the issue of unpaid work trials and his Bill from earlier this year to try and outlaw them.

Stewart McDonald said:
