In the freight transport world, the truckers that work for carriers directly make 1/2 to 1/3 what the independents get. In addition, the independents have the right to chose when they work, so if they want to take a week off, that's their prerogative (no requests required). It's fundamentally, a different arrangement.

On the other hand if a freelancer has only have one source of contracts/income and said freelancer doesn't make significantly more an hour than an employee would, then the employee is getting the short end of the stick. I'm willing to argue that this kind of outsourcing jobs you should employ people for, should be discouraged by law, either by making it more costly for the employer or by actively forcing employers to hire these not-so-free-lancers.
