Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of tying, where the employer is tying the sale of the uniforms to the employment of the workers. Even though the workers are willing to work for less, the employer is using the requirement of buying uniforms as a way to extract more money from them. This is a violation of antitrust laws and is illegal.
