Eurovision volunteer roles 'look and smell like a job', unions claim
that after seeing the roles advertised, unions were concerned that people were "being asked for various requirements, including a minimum number of shifts they ought to be available, not being paid [and] not being recompensed for travel costs".
Mr McKenna said the big question he would ask the council was "are there more people being paid to do that work than there are volunteers?" "Volunteering has a role in society but in a cost-of-living crisis, we are asking people to do roles and responsibilities in what looks like and smells like a job.
Harry Doyle, the authority's cabinet member for culture, said "when it comes to large scale events we always have volunteers or ambassadors as I like to call them".
