What do you mean?

Doesn't upwork take a cut + lock you in (ToS means you can't work with upwork clients outside upwork or something - idk if that's enforceable tho)

[WalterGR]

Interesting. That sounds like a non-compete clause, which for traditional employment is unlawful in California. But if it's for 'gig work' or self-employment (speaking broadly,) I wonder what the law is around that...

Upwork is gig work, not traditional employment. Their enforcement is banning offenders from their platform. When you sign up you agree to a contract that has terms like you can’t cut Upwork out of the relationship. Legal enforcement would be a breach of contract suit, not a labor dispute.
