Independent contractors fight back - Doing okay

I say it is time for independent contractors to act like business people.  If you have a contract with one company, that does not prevent you from having a contract with another company, or two.  You pick your hours and you sign a contract to what you agree to be paid.  Personally I have contracts with 3 companies right now.  If they want my services exclusively, they have to make me an employee.  If they run out of work, I check the next one, and so on.  They are all part-time contracts, so I easily stay busy as much or as little as I want to. If all independent contractors actied like they are in business (which you are), maybe the companies would get the idea that we are not their employees, we are their business associates.  No business can be successful with just one client.
