The "traditional" standard here is for strippers to obviously be employees but get called contractors to evade paperwork, taxes, and required employee benefits, which is exactly the kind of situation these new standards are intended to prevent. I don't see anything "unexpected" about the result.
- LanceH 7y agoNot disagreeing, but the article mentioned the element of being an employee and getting assigned work rather than getting to pick and choose. The tax situation could be cleaned up without making them employees.
- taberiand 7y agoSounds to me like the dancers should form a union to fight against those kind of employer requirements.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoYep, it's very common. "You're an independent contractor, but if you sleep with any of our customers for money[1], we'll 'fine' you $2000, and you can't work for anyone else" [1]Prostitution is legal in my country.
- gizmo686 7y ago> if you sleep with any of our customers for money[1], we'll 'fine' you $2000 This sounds like a refreshingly constrained non poaching clause. It is quite common for independent contractors to be forbidden from establishing a direct bussiness relationship with the customer's customers.
