        Actually, just to be clear, journalists can work for anyone as a freelancer for up to 35 times before having to be made employees. I understand many don’t think that’s enough, but it does allow for a wide variety of clients.

        Yeah, no. Not you. We already know where you stand. "AB 5 does not limit freelance writers to 35 submissions per client per year." Tell that the people who capped me yesterday.pic.twitter.com/rhlIkxWcob

        "AB 5 does not limit freelance writers to 35 submissions per client per year." By limiting the publications to that, the effect is exactly the same. Did you study economics? Anyone could have predicted the chaos and negative fall out from AB5.

        Cheapskate employers treat employees badly including not paying for benefits for part-time employees. AB5 does NOTHING to remedy this! #AB5

        Replying to @hiltzikm

        Actually, many freelancers make far more as freelancers than they made as staffers. Those lucrative gigs dried up when AB5 came on the scene. So, no, the problem is the law (and the state supreme court decision that inspired it).

        Like it or not, gig work is the future. California only punished their workers with that bill.

        Very misleading. It does limit writers to 35 per client IF they don’t want to be on friggin staff and forced into corporate servitude

        Yes, blame the employers and not the law. This is the take we needed
