I'm hearing mixed thoughts on the general legality. Of course, even if it's illegal there's the practicalities of workers rarely being able to stand up for themselves, I guess outside of a union.
> I still really feel for people who end up in that same kind of situation.
But regardless, I think our systems have failed if such a contract can exist legally, or without repercussions (because you aren't breaking the law if you don't get caught)
- themodelplumber 4y agoThere are some legal differences in terms of relevant laws from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. But you might be surprised by just how much of a given agreement may end up de facto legal due to a variety of practical factors. Not the least of which is the question of whether a judge or even mediator will ever even see the terms. At least here in California there are also unfortunately no roaming sets of contract cops meting out street-contract-justice.
