Why not just let contractors chose to be employees if they want?
- soc14lism00 6y agoBecause this isn’t about work It’s about whether they should be paid There’s a subtle but important difference These people can go be comedians on the corner all day, no one is stopping them from putting in that “work” The legal system has chosen to define work as something to be traded for. We basically took the Bible’s rules like trading some shekels and goats for a daughter and turned into modern law You’re free to do whatever mechanical work you want with your body in that context of “work” But a comedy club can’t afford to keep all these people as staff, so they don’t get to “work” within the legal, monitored, and “normalized” for appropriateness system of paid work financial capital holders approve of
- sthnblllII 6y agoI dont really understand what youre point is. > The legal system has chosen to define work as something to be traded for. So people shouldn't be paid for their work? As in, we should have communism?
