Associates should be demanding W-2 employment, not contractor status, after the market recovers

I have yet to see anyone arguing for a culture shift for associates regarding being a contractor or W-2 employee. I was lucky enough to be a W-2 and when COVID knocked me out, I had no problems with unemployment insurance. Not the same for my classmates that were contractors. Yes, I do know CARES makes an exception, but we shouldn't have to assume the government will bail contractors out as soon as crap hits the fan. What are y'alls thoughts?
