Hallelujah! I was for this when it was enacted before and I'm for it now.
Pages 137-140 are the key parts. They spell out the standard that will be used to determine whether we can be hired as independent contractors: 2 main rules and 3 secondary ones. There are examples of how to apply the standard on pages 140-145.
I hope the rule will be applied to low income workers like farm workers, home health aides, retail clerks, etc., as I hope it will. Lazy employers like to call these folks independent contractors when they're usually not, in point of fact. But I think a reasonable reading of the rule will protect workers like these from being misclassified.
Still reading through the 146 pages myself. But generally speaking, yes, this is but one battleground in the broader war we are fighting to stop freelance busting at the state and federal levels.
Kim, I don't have time to read this but I am willing to send a comment. Can you briefly tell me as a freelancer, if I am for or against this rule? I want them to stop trying to unionize us and take away our living!

Kim,
Are you happy with this rule? Also don't we still need to fight for the National Law to protect freelancers? Thanks for all of your hard work.
