Good luck fixing that mess. Too many pigs at the trough.
Blah, blah, blah. Or, you can just get rid of Obamacare, which is why no one wants full time employees anymore.
This sounds like union crap rolled out under a new scheme. If it were easier to get rid of crappy workers then the good ones might get hired. Who wants to risk getting sued because you fire a crappy black, indian, women, ect worker.
I mostly feel this is to protect the high cost union worker though.
Sounds like a bad idea all around
With a sharing economy, participants live and die based on reputation. Bad reputation (no likes in FB, no stars on Yelp) means no opportunity.
While this sounds sensible, it is also dangerous. Participants can get bad reputation they don’t deserve and the chatter becomes shrill as reputation corrections are attempted.
Prediction: Women and minorities will be hurt the most. Government is recruited to help them.
I see one more giant government bureaucracy, which has the potential to grow without limit.
The problem being solved is merely an accident of the wording of a law.
Change the wording of the law so that only 10 hours per week is required for benefits and the “problem” will correct itself.
10 hours is so small that the inefficiency of too many employees each only doing a small part of the whole will be greater than the benefit penalty.
If it is the workers then they are basically being forced to exchange current money they can spend anyway they like with future money they can spend in only specific ways.
It if is the companies then who's going to get this legislation passed through congress?
And what's all this bulls**t about this only being possible now that we have the "cloud"?
I'm not in favor of this idea, but there is no need for iPhones, cell phones, clouds, Java, or any other such technology. All that would be required is accurate record keeping in a centralized location, i.e. much like what the Social Security Admin was able to do for decades without iPhones or Apps or the blessed Cloud.
