That's not the case with RA here in Houston.  They have company trucks
<with the technician's NAME on the front left fender>, they get
bennies, and I'm sure the wage is nowhere near minimum.  Now this is
an installer I talked to - so maybe the prewire crew is different.

They do decent work too.  I hate it when they use dummy caps instead
of contacts though, it's been a while since I've seen that.
