Next up: They should require freelance workers to disclose their full rate history, to ensure that greedy freelancers aren't ripping off less-knowledgeable clients. It's not fair if you charge one client a different rate than another based on opaque criteria or a reason your lawmaker doesn't approve of.
- koverstreet 10y agoYes, because the power imbalance between freelancers and their clients is just as bad as the power imbalance between companies and their employees.

- TheAdamAndChe 10y agoThe current imbalances aren't in the laborers' favor. Why should we pass laws that increase the corporation's leverage over workers when the current structure skews heavily in the corporation's favor?
