This is exactly why these regulations need to exist and be enforced as strictly and evenhandedly as possible. If they didn't exist, your competitors will implement any measure, including ones that compromise worker safety, to undercut your prices. Market forces will attempt to shape this industry to be the leanest it can possibly be.
Capitalism can grind fungible labor into a literal pulp if it is allowed.

The Republican administration believes regulation is bad and must be removed. It's a shame what people would believe in the name of 'jobs'.
