That would only motivate them to outsource their low level staff to contractors so they could avoid including those people for the purposes of the calculation
If only we could forsee these types of things and plan the rules accordingly. Regardless, even this system would be an improvement. When MegaCorp becomes 20 dudes in an office who outsource everything, they’ll have to sign deals. The more they squeeze, the lower the pay for JanitorCorp’s CEO (for example), who will push back because their workers getting bent over a barrel harms them. The janitors would actually have someone looking out for them. It’d be a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of quasi-unions. Far from ideal, but again, better than now.
