Intern labor makes the word go round, and though you may not have to pay them, bones (college credit, coffee mugs, a Koosh ball that may or may not have been tossed by Rosie O'Donnell in 1998) must be thrown their way. However, according to a lawsuit filed by six "demolition interns" against Forest City Ratner, the developer promised them jobs and union cards for their participation in a 15-week "apprenticeship course" on their Atlantic Yards project, but they ended up with nothing. "What they did was wrong and misleading," one of the apprentices tells the Brooklyn Paper. Beware of an internship that's shorter than a semester! more ›

The Giants will face their division rivals the Philadelphia "Dream Team" Eagles this weekend, in what is sure to be a major test of Coach Tom Coughlin's hobbled squad. But there's still a big question mark over whether QB Michael Vick will be able to start after going down with a concussion last weekend. Even if Vick does play, he will have to face the Giants' newly-minted resident face smasher, Michael Boley. And if Boley was willing to smash one of the Giants' own interns angelic, trusting faces, we can only imagine what he has in store for Vick. more ›

An unpaid summer intern with the Civilian Complaint Review Board [CCRB] was caught by cops with an illegal gun and a blunt in his apartment yesterday. Cops were called to the East New York apartment of 22-year-old intern Jeffrey Peralta after neighbors reported that there was an emotionally disturbed person inside. It's unclear what Peralta was so upset about (besides being an unpaid intern) but the situation quickly went sideways for him when cops saw him "pacing back and forth while holding a black object in his hand and acting irrationally," the Post reports. more ›

After years of trying to figure out a plan, New York is sending the best of the best to find a cheap way to get cell phone service while we ride the subways: Interns! Seven summer interns from City College and Columbia University will be teaming up with communication networks professor Umit Uyar to find a way to provide cell service underground that's "less expensive and quicker to implement" than everything the MTA has come up with so far. In this case, "less expensive" means for $30,000. more ›

The life of the toiling zit-scarred intern has its fair share of ups and downs: your boss may ask you to drink illegally, may whisk you to Africa, or might just engage you in tickle fights, and you'll have to go along with it. But one Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney must have taken tickle fights a step too far, since she has allegedly been suspended for two weeks for verbally abusing interns. more ›

Bored, itinerant law interns are the latest side effect of the recession. The NY Times takes a look today inside the summer internship programs at Brooklyn's district attorney's office and finds packs of unpaid law students roaming the hallways, struggling to find desks, chairs, and jobs. As an anonymous intern tells the Times, "It’s much harder for them to find stuff for us to do...Definitely some people feel they haven’t done anything." At least they're getting a chance to brush up on their puzzle skills, though, as the Times notes "other interns pass the hours doing crossword puzzles or playing games on the computer." (To be fair, that happens with interns regardless of the economic climate.) What's causing this epidemic of lawyerly lassitude? The reduction in summer hires by private firms, which has shifted swarms of students into a public sector that can barely absorb them. As a result, competition increases for everything from assignments to eventual job offers to even intramurals—in the one of the few bright spots to a down economy, the Brooklyn DA office softball league now has plenty of intern talent to pick from. more ›

Attention Gawker commenters: Nick Denton needs you to pick up his dry cleaning. Though it sounds too good to be true, it seems that eager young Gawker interns are working their way up the new media ladder on the strength of their smug observations, sarcastic bon mots and impassioned diatribes on all things trivial. Will the "first!" be the first to be hired? more ›
