This line of reasoning is bordering on arrogance. To give a Worker one choice and calling it "freedom" is extremely callous.
The skillsets we're talking about here (Cafeteria Workers and Bus Drivers) are not conducive to "self-employment".
The Workers cannot set their own hours or rates; both requirements defined by the IRS to qualify as "Independent Contractor".

- nnfy 9y agoAgain, the problem here is workers voluntarily entering into illegally mislabeled positions. Where do you get the idea that a cafeteria worker or a bus driver can't leave to work for another school? Also, these are extremely low skill positions, there's nothing stopping these people from getting other jobs, why you feel like these workers have "one choice" is beyond me. I still don't understand what you're getting at. These people are free to work wherever they wish, and you've yet to demonstrate that there's something wrong with contracting in principle, when done legally. People shouldn't be unionizing, they should be talking to lawyers.
