As a musician I am REGULARLY on both sides of this coin. I am a band leader and a band member. Sometimes both on the same gig. Our business model is NOT an employee/employer relation based model. We’re virtually all sole proprietors who work FOR ourselves WITH each other. If they force compliance on us our industry is dead. CA AB5 was a dumpster fire that scorched 600 plus professions and the Biden rule can only do more of the same nationally. Everything about these policies points to making it easier for people to be classified as employees without taking into account that if you destroy the work there will be fewer and fewer employers to supply employees with jobs. These policies are wrecking balls as was proven companies like Vox. They trumpet protections of AB5 when it was signed and laid off hundreds of IC’s when they figured out what the law would do in real world terms.
