Reclassifying gig workers / independent contractors as employees began in the US with California Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5). AB 5 has a 3-prong test to determine if a worker is an employee or independent contractor.

AB 5 – Employment Status



This thread is not a discussion about politics. Please only post replies below if they relate to working in the industry - affiliates, performers, production crew, web designers, writers, etc.

What this means is that if you’re classified as an employee, you’ll be fired and whatever value you think you were to a company will be done remotely from India, Brazil, etc. for a fraction of your cost.
Yeay, liberalism
