I imagine part of this would be ensuring that companies do not underpay their workers by enforcing strict standards on minimum wage and changing corporate tax obligations.

Having employers provide benefits like healthcare is crazy. The US really needs to move beyond it. I’m surprised there isn’t more agreement politically, the benefit obligation is a huge drain on small companies and solo entrepreneurs.

Not to mention the cost of staff needed negotiate, maintain, and explain the options to employees.
