English term

black companies and white corporations

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general) Complaint
Hi, all!

I've found this sentence in the part that lists the Defendants in the complaint: "JOHN DOES AND JANE DOES I-X; BLACK COMPANIES, WHITE CORPORATIONS I-X; XYZ PARTNERSHIPS AND/OR SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS I-X". I've noticed that this is common maybe to refer to all other parties implied in this complaint. But, do you know how to use it correctly in Spanish?

Thanks in advance!

"en negro" covers the sweatshop concept

Reference:

As an umbrella term, “black company” is used to denote companies which operate in a manner exploitative of their employees. However, specific reasons for labeling a company “black” can vary. Common symptoms include power harassment, sexual harassment, little to no overtime work pay, and little to no work/life balance.

The term black company was said to have been coined two decades ago by office workers in the IT industry. Circulation grew when a film was released in 2009 called “On The Verge at A Black Company,” based around an online thread started by a man working at a black company. Since then, it’s entered the mainstream.
