I worked for one of these companies in HQ, and was very closely tied to a lot of pay and compensation stuff. We, and our competitors, lobbied VERY hard to prevent government fair pay.
Even if all “contractors” had universal healthcare, I guarantee you, they’ve be trying to remove barriers that protect workers rights and pay.
These companies lobby to intentionally fuck over people, and they do it because the business model is not profitable. They all assumed they would have unlocked large automation and logistics efficiency by now, but bundling 2 or 3 orders is as far as they’ve gotten.
