Then it should be even easier to unionize
Can’t unionize a workplace when you’re the owner and only employee. That’s how the law treats “independent contractors”.
I kinda don’t like how unions are a regulated legal thing… Why are they not just a a private club, where people collectively agree to not take shit conditions anymore? Why can’t all independent contractors go on strike tomorrow?
I agree. I don’t want to take power from the existing unions, but they should be able to exist in some less official capacity as well. 1st amendment says freedom of association, right?
