While the strike is important, if we can get recognition that these subcontractors are just a way for corporations to dodge employment laws, that would be fucking HUGE.

I've been idly trying to come up with a framework that discourages this kind of behavior, and I haven't come up with anything good. Got any ideas? Everything I come up with either wouldn't work or would never get implemented.

A fucking livable minimum wage to start at. Universal health care for another. Free, or very inexpensive, education for a third. Basic things that other countries seem able to do.
