“Volunteer” is such a cheerful word. It conjures up smiling, retired ladies, keen to do their bit for the community, or eager Dads getting up at dawn, to coach the local under-nines. What it does not, and should never mean, however, is an army of the untrained and unpaid, replacing employees who have devoted their lives to doing their jobs well.
