Analyze the documentary, Permanently Temporary: The Truth About Temp Labor (Full Length) answer the three questions below for discussion forum post:
The documentary mentions Carlos Sentenos, the worker who was killed in a shampoo factory after gallons of acid fell on it. As you heard, both the temp agency and the warehouse had their arguments as to why they should not be liable for the man's death.
How should the legal system distribute blame (i.e. legal liability) for injuries that temp workers suffer? Should the temp agency be liable, even though they are not physically present at the work site, or should the company that manages the work site be liable, even though it is not the worker's employer? Support your answer.
What other changes should be made (such as in the legal system), to accommodate and better deal with this new reality in today's employment, given the increasing number of temp employees?
As mentioned in the documentary, at a certain point, businesses chose to take the "low road" and put profits over people. Should this approach be changed? Will it be possible to change this? If so, how? Should there be government involved via regulations or legislation? Why or why not?
