Students to sue American "Work & Travel" program for failure to deliver jobs

A group of students who travelled to the US under the "Work & Travel" program and were not employed as promised, are to sue the American company responsible for the program to recover damages. The students traveled to several cities in the USA where they were hosted by middlemen who charged them but failed to provide the promised employment. "One time there were 300 hundred students," said one, who found himself jobless and with no money in San Diego, others had to give blood to survive. After some time the students decided to claim for their rights and talked to the California-based legal chancellery Woodsmall & Petrovich LPP. "Actually, we are investigating the case. So far, on behalf of our clients, we are conducting initial talks with the Council of Educational Exchange and Elite Show Services," said Martin Petrovich. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 8) M.T.
