New bill would remove some protections for temporary workers in New Jersey

The new bill comes less than two years after the law known as the "Temp Workers Bill of Rights" went into effect.
The article from Yahoo News discusses a proposed bill in the Wisconsin state Assembly that aims to remove certain protections for temporary workers, specifically targeting the repeal of a 2023 law that mandates equal pay and benefits for temporary workers compared to permanent employees after 90 days of employment. This legislative move, supported by staffing agencies and business groups, is criticized by labor advocates who argue that it undermines worker rights and could lead to exploitation. The bill's proponents believe it will reduce costs for businesses and increase flexibility in the workforce, while opponents fear it will exacerbate income inequality and diminish job security for temporary workers.
