Apocalyptic headline aside, all this really does is prevent corporations from having their cake and eating it, too. If you're directing (and profiting from) the labor of a large population of workers, you can't hide behind franchise or contract agreements to avoid labor law obligations. If it's 'war' at all, it's a war on a common form of corporate labor fraud.
I have a friend who works for a major media company, sort of, he works for a staffing agency that puts him at a desk at the media company where he works alongside the media company's employees doing the same work with an email signature saying he works for the major media company even though he technically doesn't...he doesn't get paid holidays or other benefits the media company employees get bc he technically works for the staffing agency..would this change that set-up?
