> If you object to your contractor hiring any subcontractor, or just a specific contractor, you should write that into the contract. Agreed, but I still don't think people should have to. It should just be default. It feels like saying, "if you didn't want them to rob you, you should have written 'can not rob me' into the contract" > I don't think that was the problem this law is trying to solve. Also agreed. It seems clear to me what the law is trying to solve. If Uber/Lyft win this, then there's no reason for any company to not just reclassify every employee they've ever had as an independent contractor. If Uber/Lyft win this fight, there's zero reason for McDonalds to not say, "oh, our franchisee's don't have any employees. Those folks in the kitchen are all independent culinary artists, who use our Nationwide Mealtime App Platform to bid on various 4-hour shifts across our network of franchise-owned kitchens. Each one of those people are absolutely all their own employers, and fully control their means of employment, so long as they produce McNuggets and BigMacs to our exact specifications (which are so precise only for your own health and safety and freshness, of course, and definitely not because we are some sort of employer directing their labour)"
