new law needed

DI falls under US law not Philippine law. The silly Philippine defamation laws do not apply to the forum itself. I don't see the posts here as intent to tarnish someone's image but more to put information out there to warn the general public of less than honorable hiring practices and to voice their opinion on the subject. However, members posting might want to take into consideration the location from where they are posting and what the repercussions of their words might be. While the forum might not fall under Philippine law, someone posting from the Philippines certainly would. If the OP or other members wants to mention the names of the businesses that will be on them. I would advise anyone thinking of calling a business out to tread carefully.

He hasn't accused any specific business of doing anything. Nobody has said any names so nobody should feel as if they are being targeted. If there is a business that reads the forum and objects, has a different opinion/view on the subject or feels that this information is not entirely correct they can chime in any time. As far as I know this is a completely fabricated and fictional story since no real life characters have been mentioned by name. Until names are named I will continue to consider it as such.

 

I agree, I have never heard of this 6 month no pay probationary practice outside of the fields you have mentioned here, though I have heard of nurses working in hospitals for free even after graduation just so they could get a little bit of on the job training after their schooling was finished.

I have also heard of companies not paying social security/health insurance for the 6 month "training contract" for unskilled labor. This does not sound too uncommon for me since I worked factory jobs before in the US and this is common practice there (not giving health care for the first 60-180 days, depending on how crappy your the company was....they always paid the SS though). If I had my gf's sister/cousin/niece/family complaining about this I would be skeptical and I would verify that they were actually not getting paid before I took any action just to make sure they weren't trying to get me to dish out some cash on some completely manufactured sob story. If I was 100 percent sure that they were not being paid for their work I would plaster the business name all over the internet criticizing their crappy hiring practices....making d*mn well sure I was posting it from a US IP address.
