Right! This is twisting Capitals arm to pay the “true” cost of the labor it needs. ‘Cause if they didn’t need it, there wouldn’t have been contractors doing the job in the first place.

I am extremely satisfied to see labor rights advocacy making a comeback.



How is this "true" cost calculated?


Fully loaded cost of employees vs pushing the costs onto the “contractor”.


In my field, contractors make more than employees, even after accounting for benefits, because the employers prefer the flexibility and are willing to pay a premium for it.
