Major victory for California Labor Unions...
In a major victory for California labor unions, Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed legislation that will hold businesses liable when subcontractors violate wage, workplace safety or workers’ compensation rules.
The legislation was a priority of organized labor, and it was one of only two bills given the California Chamber of Commerce’s “job killer” label to make it to Brown’s desk this year.
“California workers received a much-needed measure of protection tonight with Gov. Brown’s signature on a landmark bill to curtail abuses of subcontracted workers,” Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation, said in a prepared statement.
He said the legislation “is a historic new law that holds corporations accountable when workers hired using labor contractors are cheated out of wages or forced to work in unsafe conditions. By holding corporations jointly liable with subcontractors and staffing agencies, the governor closed a loophole in the law that many big companies were using to violate the basic rights of workers with impunity.”

the job craters job creators?
People with money to spend in the US create jobs in the US, period. Everyone else makes the stuff and provides the services they want to buy.
If they don't have money to spend in the US, US "layoffs" (aka firings) happen, US workplaces close and the US economy tanks, probably taking other economies with it.
Meanwhile, the job craters move every job they possibly can out of the country and sell us crap so they can maximize their own compensation and pay as little as possible in US taxes. But's it's patriotic because...flag pin.
look at Sweden and Germany.
