Your observation about the number of workers this effects seems out of place.

For the many people who do work these jobs, this ruling strengthens their protection.

The "gig economy" perpetuates a false narrative that traditional jobs are being replaced with contractors. The numbers simply don't bear that out. It's tangential to whether or not contract worker protections should be enhanced.

I correct misinformation when I see it. The world is awash in false information.
