Wisconsin: Amazon management fails to classify employees as contractors, deny rights like overtime pay and unemployment insurance

This is great news because at some point we're gonna need to draw a line between contractor and employee, and I think wearing a company uniform, driving a company truck, and being in a company's restricted facility should be firmly on the 'employee' side of the line. I mean, if Amazon delivery drivers are contractors, then Target cashiers, postal workers, and flight attendants could all be considered contractors. It's nice to see the gig economy not get normalized to such an extent
