Freelancer Payment Protection Act

OK, I know this is contributing to the problem of political posts on these two groups -- but man this one burns:NOOOOOOOOOOOO!Why no?(A) because I like having work as a freelancer, and this will make potential clients shy away from freelancers working for them.(B) because I like not being an employee, and this will force potential clients to treat me more like an employee and less like a fellow business person.(C) because if I thought that getting all my work through Kelly Temps were a Good Thing, I'd already be doing it.Sorry for the aberrant behavior. I'll go back to plonking political posts, now.-- My liberal friends think I'm a conservative kook.My conservative friends think I'm a liberal kook.Why am I not happy that they have found common ground?Tim Wescott, Communications, Control, Circuits & Software

As usual, government exempts itself:-

THE TERM "CLIENT" SHALL NOT INCLUDE A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY AGENCY, BOARD, DEPARTMENT, COMMISSION OF THE STATE OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF.

and, interestingly, real estate people.

I wonder what kind of abuses led to this intrusive legislation..

you don't need data for legislation - just a story.

Quite unfortunately all too true. And the legislation does not have to have anything to do with the story.
