SOREN ,
I believe that you do not understand the difference between a 1099 and workman's comp.
Who would receive a 1099 , Real estate salesmen , most hair dressers , many barbers , long haul owner/operators , auctioneers , many commissioned sales persons , contract guards , taxi drivers ,this list can go on for several pages . Just because they are contractors they do not loose the rights to take advantage of the courts to right a wrong for injury or any wrong .
It sounds as if you believe that most , if not all contract workers are doing something wrong and are stupid . You say that you worked in constitutions , have you not hired many independent contractors to do the plumbing , wiring, landscaping .
The State of Florida is now contracting for gate guards at remote check stations , The Federal Gov . contracts with individuals for services all the
time . Why don't you call them up and tell them that they are wrong .
I have worked as an independent contractor in the insurance industry for 35 years along with thousands and thousands of other adjusters , auctioneers , tow truck operators as well as thousands of drivers hired for the day . If they get hurt the person that they work for is just as liable as any other business or employment situation . Lets move on to some thing to do with RVing , please .
