Man did u even read the article? The contractors are given the chance to apply for full time or part time positions.
And that is a game changer? 🤦🏻
For them, yeah - they will now have health insurance, guaranteed minimum wage and other benefits. Since they all worked for the company before (as contractors) I’m sure most of them will be hired as full time or part time employees. You can be for or against this law but citing this article as an argument against it is really stupid. I’m sure when slavery was abolished slaves were let go (as slaves) and (re-)hired as employees. This is the expected outcome of the law.
The right is unable to parse through news intelligently
*parse through life. FTFY
The right dosn’t know what the left is.
The crazy thing is that these jobs only exist because people are willing to do them. Once you add onerous restrictions, those jobs disappear and spurs new innovation to take their place. Think there’s no correlation between minimum wage laws and ordering from a computer at McDonald’s? Freelance writers exist because enough people could fill those jobs adequately to drive down compensation packages. There are some outstanding writers out there but most people don’t care as long as the person has a command of English and publishes timely information about their sports team.
And nothing of value was lost. Web news outlets, even the woke ones, are notoriously exploitative and sleazy. I adblock the shit out of the out of principle.
Vox is a brainless clickbait machine, they don’t have principles they have reactions
Gosh who would’ve thought working in fake news was a stable career choice
