My take is that he was recommending that young,
unemployed workers gain experience via unpaid internships, which is arguably an end run around employment standards laws that prohibit contracting out of the minimum wage.
In short, it seems that most of the real
gains from nationalization can be achieved by government regulations that safeguard the safety and health of
workers, insure that they are taken care of when they are
unemployed and when they retire, and allow them to organize to promote their own interests.
