Belgium Pioneers Labor Rights for Sex Workers with New Protections

Belgium has become the first country to grant sex workers the right to formal employment contracts, providing them with labor protections such as sick leave, maternity pay, and pensions. The new law, effective from Sunday, also ensures sex workers can refuse clients and set conditions for their work. This move follows Belgium's 2022 decision to decriminalize sex work and redefine pimping laws, aiming to protect sex workers from exploitation and discrimination. However, these protections apply only to those with employment contracts, excluding self-employed sex workers and those in pornography or striptease.

The bill, if signed into law by Gov. Hochul, could mark a major labor victory in New York and could also ripple across the U.S. Employment lawyers said that it would amount to a national labor earthquake. About 30 million American workers are restricted by noncompetes, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

"The 22-year-old making $144k with 2 remote jobs: Risk and Reward Strategies"

A 22-year-old software engineer has been working two full-time remote jobs, earning a combined $144,000 last year without telling either employer. He uses five strategies to juggle both jobs and avoid suspicion, including overestimating task completion time and turning down projects. While holding two jobs at once doesn't violate federal or state laws, it could breach employment contracts and get people fired. The window to pull this off may be closing, as many companies are calling employees back to the office and listing fewer fully remote positions.
