Well the article pretty clearly spells out the reasons, chief among them, you just need to read it
>Abolish “irregular work” (part-time, temporary or contract labor with little or no benefits) and extend labor protections to all workers
Or maybe a fucking tv show told them to do it...
- anovikov 5y agoThat could make so much work and so many industries just impossible... If that wasn't possible, i could never be a programmer and i could never build my business later. None of my world would exist. I have no idea what i'd even do.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoWhy couldn't you be a programmer? Does your code stop working if workers have better protection?
- Tenoke 5y agoPresumably it takes away many more flexible opportunities if you can't freely freelance.
- cced 5y agoSurely we can be a bit imaginative and allow freelancers the ability to do this without forcing everyone to be labeled as such..
- refurb 5y agoOf course! We need to make appropriate carve outs! Just like AB5 in California that banned outside consultants except for a laundry list of hundreds of occupations except ride sharing.
- justshowpost 5y agoNo, this implies you will have to register as freelancer/self-employed and pay socsec tax. Makes me wonder, what overall tax burden is in Korea. Can they afford raising it to 65-80%?
