It would have been nice if this article addressed the negative consequences of these companies skirting labor laws. The only mention of this is here:<p><i>&quot;she alleges that these firms exert the kind of control that employers would have over employees — without providing any of the benefits employees, by law, are entitled to.&quot;</i><p>But it doesn&#x27;t explain what specific benefits are being withheld from employees, so I don&#x27;t know what bad thing she is trying to prevent, or the magnitude of the problem, if there really is one.
