Yeah, I wish!
I worked from home for years, for a single employer, with no significant changes in salary, benefits, work security, etc. It's the "piecework" model that worries me. I think employers will try to avoid having to cover workers under this model in any of the ways they currently have to cover full-time employees -- it's greatly to their advantage not to have to cover these folks. It will take some pretty strong negotiations to avoid the whole labor market devolving into unsupported temp work done by the lowest bidder.
I'm all in favor of sharing work (and compensation) with those who need it most. I just don't want to lose all the worker protections we've managed to gain in the process.
