Wow. I was an "independent contractor" for years...I have been up down and sideways on getting insurance for myself and through employers for years. I read these articles and I just think, "man there is something WAY OFF about this." I know I'm not THAT crazy or wrong about it. It CAN'T BE the fault of Churchill Downs! Impossible.
Thanks for posting this Mall. I can only hope that the jockeys will wake up and realize that there really is no shortcut -- they have to form their own oversight committee (w/regular outside audits, at the very least) or something so that they can understand and deal with these crucial issues. If they form a Guild and let someone else have this kind of power it's inevitable that they will get screwed.
