Not encouraging; giving them an excuse to point to.
Having to report to investors that you're cutting back on employees' wages, hours, and benefits in an attempt to cut costs does not sound very good.
Being able to report that you're cutting those things because the big bad guvmint, however, is perfectly fine...even if it's total bullshit.
It would've happened with or without. They just have an excuse for their shareholders now. That's the only difference.
