Employee VS Independent Contractor

This is a lightening rod issue. The courts have been clear on this issue. However, the courts have been ignored by the membership of NAMFS. NAMFS has done nothing to ensure their membership follows any of the latest court decisions...some of these decisions go back 5 years or more. Plenty of time for the Executive Director to institute changes in the organizations policies.What are your thoughts??
