Latest Breaking News

when i first started, i worked as my own business, though in practice i had to show up at the client site essentially during the hours they wanted me there, etc., so in many ways i looked like an employee, just not a "permanent" one. and of course they only paid me my hourly rate, zero benefits, no social security, etc.

at some point in the late '80s that changed and i had to be employed by the agency that found me my work. in practice little changed. they paid social security, but my hourly rate was reduced correspondingly. they had very few other benefits.


if they could do that for computer programmers decades ago, they can surely do that for drivers.
