So, then, if California’s new law fails to pierce the subcontracting veil, then this arbitrage loophole is valid:
Pizza Whatever Corp outsources delivery for $X less per hour than a fast food worker would cost, either pocketing the difference in wages rather than paying it to workers as the state intended, and/or undercutting the prices of any competitors still using delivery employees.
I imagine there would be interesting outcomes from filing unpaid wages claims with the California m labor department against Doordash and other temp agencies for the difference between hourly wages paid and fast food worker hourly wages owed, when performing delivery services for fast food businesses that are in-scope for the law.
