For the Medical Professional:
It is well-documented that women in America earn less than men in all fields of work, including healthcare, where women make up the majority of highly-skilled workers. According to a CNN/Money report http://cnnmon.ie/1I0YAcg, female workers earn only $0.68 for every $1.00 a male worker earns. That is clearly unfair and this huge disparity has negative impacts not only on the female worker herself, but also her family and on society as a whole.
Deep and Wide Disparity
Contract workers are making up more and more of the workforce, and not just with apps such as Uber. A WSJ article (http://on.wsj.com/1UinkHk) notes the deep and wide trend, across many industries and skill levels, towards alternative work arrangements.
Businesses across the country are under more scrutiny than ever regarding the misuse of independent contractors, and healthcare facilities are not immune. The U.S. Department of Labor just released an interactive website that helps workers and employers understand and comply with the myriad and often complex laws regarding this designation. https://www.dol.gov/whd/workers/Misclassification/myths-main.htm
