There is a provision in German law that bars the government from
enforcing "immoral" contracts. Are you sure it would never have
occured to an American lawyer to make use of that law if it existed in
the US? :)
Anyway, this is not really about sex workers' rights, but about people
who sign up to do work as self-employed contractors and then sue to
have their contracts converted into permanent employment.
