Press Release:  Subcontracting Results in Decreased Wages, Benefits, and Protections for Workers: New National Report Chronicles Rise of Subcontracting, Highlights Solutions.  Yesterday's sweatshop is thriving in today's workplace. From Orchards to the Internet: Confronting Contingent Work Abuse, a new report from the National Employment Law Project and the Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc., finds that subcontracting, a growing trend, is detrimental to workers. From high-tech workers to farm workers, employers have been steadily increasing their use of subcontracting in an effort to cut costs and shift responsibility for wages and working conditions.
