I see both good and bad in this,
the DA going after employers is something that we should get behind. This might put a crimp in the number of potential clients at the Day laborer areas. Not that they were good jobs obviously, but less traffic at those sites is going to make it less attractive to newcomers. However...only two employees going unpaid is a bit of a low threshold. Might have some employers who just fell on hard times briefly and did not have the intent of a scammer. Plus, this article does not go in to the specifics of how this law is applied
