Worker Misclassification as Independent Contractor — LGBTQ+

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

fired after reporting safety violations. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
