What's wrong with being a temp employee with flex hours?

You raise a good point that labor law has an ugly bimodality regarding employee and independent contractor, where it might be better to refactor the law so that different protections apply based on some particulars of the arrangement. Working <10hrs/wk vs >20hrs/wk is one good place to draw a distinction.
