I think I need to donate to these guys, ProPublica has been killing it lately.

250 workers, 8000 USD per worker, no admission of wrongdoing.

Cost of doing business, and a cheap one at that.

This would be why so many big boys want to wipe out labor laws.

"One agent in the Arise network who won in arbitration, Tami Pendergraft, paid about $1,500 for home office equipment, paid for a background check and training, devoted 44 unpaid days to passing a certification course, and then worked three weeks fielding telephone calls from AT&T customers. After all that, she got a single paycheck for $96.12."

AT&T makes $122 billion a year. No individual worker needs to be subsidizing their onboarding process.
