A number of folks — all of them, other freelance writers I'm guessing — sent me this link today about a new California law that seems to affect us. "What does it mean?" they ask…and someone else, perhaps a good lawyer, will have to answer that, perhaps by reading all of the actual law instead of a reporter's summary.
I understood enough of it to feel pretty sure it doesn't affect me in any way and I think I get the premise behind it, which is to encourage little piecework jobs to be transformed into real, steady jobs. It doesn't seem to me that this change will accomplish much of that but I'd need to know more to say that with any certainty. I'll link you to anything I see that might help clarify.
