Longread #335 -- Everyone Only Wants Temps -- 6/18/13

  1. This is a story of greed with Labor Ready and businesses employing these people.

  2. It makes me want to go into labor law. I want to learn more about the statistics of how many people are actually benefiting form this type of labor (does it help people get back on their feet in a full time job or not). He touched on it in the article, but it would seem that other places would be a better option for people trying to get back into the workforce after being in prison -- but maybe not. It's a really tough place to be in.
