The lawsuit over independent contractors may not have been the deciding factor in their failure, but:

> For example, according to Zietsman, Homejoy city managers were tasked with buying up and distributing cleaning supplies

They chose and supplied the cleaning supplies to workers? And still thought they had _any_ chance of prevailing in a lawsuit where they claimed the workers were independent contractors and not employees? Um.



Many franchise systems work like this, I wonder if they had provided a business class on llcing and then required training , supplies, and maybe even equipment how a lot of these cos would turn out.
