I have literally never seen that as a test, and it seems extraordinarily effective. Many employees have a ton of leverage and do negotiate their compensation aggressively. On the other hand, many contractors do very little negotiation. Ex. my dad works in construction and would frequently be told about a certain project where the pay was $x/hr for 1 week — take it or leave it (no negotiation). I don't see how whether contracts are collective or individual is at all an effective test for differentiating contractors and employees.
