Free The Freelancers

It makes sense that the best way to protect the rights of workers is to let them determine their own job preferences, or mandate that companies provide them with certain protections. California has chosen to take an alternate path via legislation of Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) last year with a stated goal to protect independent contractors, aka freelancers, from employers taking advantage of them.

Has it worked? Sadly, no. It has pushed thousands of workers into the unemployment line due to its Draconian provisions, such as limiting the annual amount of work of freelancers. Bolstered by union support, attempts to repeal AB5 has failed and the danger of similar legislation spreading across the country is very real.
