updates: The article "C. Jarrett Dieterle: The left should listen to what gig workers actually want" emphasizes the need for progressives to listen to the preferences of gig workers and consider better solutions for worker classification [dec30cc2]. The author argues that the left's anti-gig campaign is antithetical to what gig workers want and overlooks potential solutions that could benefit workers. The author points out that California's law in 2018, which made it harder to classify workers as independent contractors, resulted in job losses. The Department of Labor's reversal of a rule for classifying independent contractors has also made it more difficult for workers to remain contractors. However, over 80% of independent contractors and gig economy workers prefer their status as contractors [dec30cc2]. The article suggests that a portable benefits model could be a viable solution for gig and contract workers. This model would provide funds for workers to purchase benefits such as health insurance, allowing them to maintain the flexibility and independence they desire. The author argues that this alternative approach would respect the preferences and needs of gig workers and contractors [dec30cc2].

updates: The gig economy is not only attracting workers in traditional industries but also those in the entertainment sector. The challenges faced by unscripted workers in finding consistent work have been exacerbated by the decline in traditional entertainment formats. The COVID-19 pandemic has further worsened the situation, with production shutdowns and reduced budgets. As a result, many unscripted workers are seeking opportunities in the gig economy, taking on short-term projects and freelance work to make ends meet. This shift towards the gig economy highlights the importance of adapting to new trends and exploring alternative avenues for employment in the changing entertainment landscape. Unscripted workers are finding ways to leverage their skills and expertise in the gig economy, where they can contribute to various projects and productions on a flexible basis. The article emphasizes the need for unscripted workers to be proactive in seeking out gig opportunities and building a diverse portfolio of work. By embracing the gig economy, unscripted workers can navigate the challenges of the changing entertainment industry and find new avenues for income and professional growth.
