Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think that might technically be illegal coordination, but good luck to you either way
Heads up, if grocers can collude on prices unmitigated for years, two seamstress aren't going to be investigated talking about their wages.
Do the two seamstresses spend millions to leverage the government?
It's called unionised.
if they are technically independent businesses (contractors) that would not be unionized labor but instead two business colluding.
They aren't businesses if they aren't paying LLC fees every year. You can't just throw words around like business just because
sorry, I meant sole proprieter which is typically considered to be a form of unincorporated buisness.
Also wrong word use. If there's no fees or licensing involved then it's not a business, a proprietorship, or anything else that would mean individuals aren't allowed to unionize. It is perfectly acceptable for them to team up against the actual business involved here
I agree with you on some of that, but if the guy is contracting out individual jobs to sewers and they use their own equipment and set their own hours they are sole proprietors and not his employees. This guy seems to be trying to have it both ways though and is just working to drive down the cost of labour.
Ehh.... When you are talking about poverty-level income, I wouldn't think it would matter too much...
