I worked as a contractor for many years, and the opposite was true. We were brought in to help the in house devs improve their systems and frankly clean up their code.
In a lot of places, the hiring company had counterproductive requirements placed on their devs, stuff like mandatory CS degree, mandatory clock in and out time, and not paying enough to get the best talent. We were able to come in and not subject to those requirements, do better work.
It sounds like you've worked at some bad companies who were not able to make effective use of contractors, and due to this limited experience you are advocating for a law which would make many mutually beneficial business relationships illegal. You want the state to come in and use an extremely blunt law to help you grind an axe about your boss or something.
Sorry, you’re right. I meant to say that some employees who have had a bad experience with bad management of contractors at their workplace want the state to come in with a really blunt law that harms contractors who have nothing to do with their badly managed workplace. This strikes me as short sighted and unnecessary.
