"The reason why Republicans love contracting is because it allows private companies to siphon money that should go to the workers into their pockets. It also makes it easier and much cheaper to fire employees or otherwise eliminate jobs. My contract employees had zero rights. They were always at the mercy of their employers."

You got it, NG!

And now this applies to private sector corporations (Walmart, etc.) which use contracting to dodge corporate obligations and expenses.

And we wonder why wages are stagnant but profits are through the roof?
