Example: If a "volunteer" had accosted someone while at work for the museum, could the museum be held liable?.. since the individual is "employed" by the museum? Just because the "employee" is not paid, and does it voluntarily, doesn't mean they are not "employed"...
If have something to contradict that, then I'm open to it.
It's still stupid and racist as fuck.
Those laws affect employees. Volunteers, especially completely unpaid volunteers, are not employees. This sort of thing has been before the courts before.
And don't try to say a volunteer is an "unpaid employee" because that would be completely illegal.
For more information on what a volunteer is, see this Government site. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/fl...heir%20service.
