Can incorporating as an LLC and serving as a vendor circumvent these onerous laws?

The answer is no, per the public comment just filed in New Jersey by Elizabeth Milito, attorney with the National Federation of Independent Business: https://www.freelancebusting.com/p/this-is-no-choice-at-all

It makes no sense. If a company hires a vendor, that doesn't make the vendor’s employees their employees.

Union logic is an oxymoron.

Perhaps it's the monotheist in me, but I can't see how one can serve two masters. It sounds like a happy hunting ground for the trial bar, and makes me all the more grateful that you are on the front lines fighting this “union logic”.

What this will do is accelerate the great replacement of the intended beneficiaries with AI, which is stupid even from the union POVs, because AI agents don't pay union dues (yet)!
