Well thats were you are wrong. In California its well settled that performers are employees for work comp purposes.
I have settled several claims on the behalf of performers against producers for work comp injuries. Many of the major studios carry comp and use payroll services to cover their performers. The ones that dont are merely taking a huge risk.
There is no reorganization. The law is what creates the EE relationship not a decision by the industry.
Being an employee actually gives them more rights, not less. And it actually protects employers that follow the law since being an employees means any on set injuries are work comp claims and not personal injury lawsuits. Work comp doesnt pay any where close to what a PI case would. There is no pain and suffering recovery allowed in work comp and thats where the big money usually is in a PI lawsuit.
