Portuguese term or phrase: Trabalhador avulso
"o trabalhador avulso é quem presta serviços para empresas sem possuir vínculo empregatício, ou seja, sem carteira de trabalho assinada. Podem se reunir em sindicatos ou outro tipo de órgão que represente sua categoria ou ramo de atividade. É por meio dessas entidades que esse tipo de trabalhador receberá oportunidades no mercado de trabalho." (SEBRAE).

"Trabalhador avulso é aquele que, sindicalizado ou não, presta serviços de natureza urbana ou rural, sem vínculo empregatício, a diversas empresas, com intermediação obrigatória do sindicato da categoria ou, quando se tratar de atividade portuária, do Órgão Gestor de Mão de Obra (OGMO)." (Site SA)

Alguém sabe se tem algum equivalente para o inglês de trabalhador avulso? Um regime de trabalho que tenha forte interferência do sindicato?

Explanation:
An independent contractor is a self-employed person or entity contracted to perform work for—or provide services to—another entity as a nonemployee. As a result, independent contractors must pay their own Social Security and Medicare taxes. In addition, an entity that uses the services of an independent contractor is not required to provide them with employment benefits, such as health insurance and employer-sponsored retirement accounts, that the entity might otherwise provide were the contractor an employee. The payer must correctly classify each payee as either an independent contractor or employee. (From: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/independent-contractor....

independent contractor


Explanation:
É o que eu diria em inglês americano.

"Independent contractors are not like regular employees. An independent contractor is an individual who may run their own business but also performs work for other businesses. Individuals classified as independent contractors are not considered employees of your business.

Unlike employees, independent contractors do not have taxes deducted from their wages. You don’t need to withhold Medicare or Social Security taxes from independent contractors’ wages. Instead, contractors must pay self-employment tax on their earnings." - https://www.patriotsoftware.com/blog/accounting/what-is-an-i...
