The Issue Is NOT Independent Contractors Within The Livery Industry

Independent Contractors are everywhere in the livery industry and always will be. The issue is not "doing away" with Independent Contractors. The issue is the agreement under which the Independent Contractor performs his or her job. If you have an agreement where you state you paid an Independent Contractor 50% or 60% or 45% of the base, did you? If your I/C was actually paid $17.00 per job, that's not 50% of the base of ANY airport. If your I/C was paid $10.00 per hour for as directed's, that's not 50% of the base, unless you only charge $20.00 per hour, and we know that isn't reality.

Proper pay and fair treatment is all I seek.
