Practice question
A worker argues that performing an activity directly related to the principal's business, by itself, necessarily establishes the resource-related branch of DO 174 Section 5. Is that complete?
- Yes; the other conditions must always be ignored.
- No; that branch also requires the specified deficiency in substantial capital or investments.
- Yes; every outsourcing of related work is labor-only contracting.
- No; relatedness is never relevant.
- Only a union election can establish relatedness.
