THE RESULTS ARE IN!
Big-box RETAILERS are costing working families, Washington State, and the U.S. government an estimated $517.8 MILLION!
Read the complete study results here.
How’s this possible?!
Big-box RETAILERS are being paid for work they don’t do!
They are ALLOWED to bid on construction projects without any construction workers on their payroll.
They are ALLOWED to convince ACTUAL construction workers to sign 1099 forms and call them “contractors.”
They are ALLOWED to send these “contractors” to do the work…
…for peanuts!
…with no health insurance!
…and no worker protections!
In the meantime, WORKING FAMILIES are watching wages and benefits disappear, because RESPONSIBLE LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS can’t compete!
