Private sector is doing this as well, replacing employees who once had salaries, benefits etc, with contract labor...That way employers skate around all the costly workers compensation expense$ and associated headaches. They’re throwing it all on the employees, making it their burden. Even delivery people nowadays in many cases they’re now required to use their own vehicles to make deliveries..Which basically wears them out within a year or so.

Yeah, I’ve seen those “job” ads. There’s many that try that scam. One FReeper said they did Uber for awhile - figured out they were making about $2 an hour. While wearing out their vehicle.
I can’t even get hired on that basis!
