Episode 0119: Utah Direct Sales Companies Use Exploitative Tactics To Skirt Labor And Tax Laws by Miscategorizing Employees As Contractors

Finally I am taking the opportunity to address an issue with the gross negligence and deception that takes place with these Utah base direct sales companies. Companies for which I worked for within the past 7 years. Personally been in their doors and have been treated unfairly and I'm going to name every last one of them. Now I'm I didn't work for every single Utah direct sales company but when you start to realize it they pretty much are all the same. They sleep in the same beds with each other and find ways to screw over their independent contractors oh I mean employees. Of course this is not unique to Utah based companies companies have found a way to capitalize and screw employees since the time of slavery but we all know of course that wasn't voluntary. But what matters most in this story is the fact that these companies which are all centrally located in Utah are in the direct sales business with branches all throughout the United States. Black Facts Indentured servitude is a form of labor in which a person is contracted to work without salary for a specific number of years. The contract, called an "indenture", may be entered "voluntarily" for purported eventual compensation or debt repayment, or it may be imposed as a judicial punishment. Historically, it has been used to pay for apprenticeships, typically when an apprentice agreed to work for free for a master tradesman to learn a trade (similar to a modern internship but for a fixed length of time, usually seven years or less). Later it was also used as a way for a person to pay the cost of transportation to colonies in the Americas. Like any loan, an indenture could be sold; most employers had to depend on middlemen to recruit and transport the workers so indentures (indentured workers) were commonly bought and sold when they arrived at their destinations. Like prices of slaves, their price went up or down depending on supply and demand. When the indenture (loan) was paid off, the worker was free. Sometimes they might be given a plot of land. Indentured workers could usually marry, move about locally as long as the work got done, read whatever they wanted, and take classes. Let’s Take Em To Church It's time out for Big Time Utah based corporations or any corporations for that matter to continue to take advantage of the poor and less than in terms of job placement job skills in advancement. Time out from them praying on blacks and minorities to fulfill their contracts and bottom line. Dear Lord God I pray that of anyone is currently working for a company wherever it may be that is doing them unjustly and they feel like there is no way out I pray that you get them out of that bondage that has kept them afraid.
