They were expected to be on call 24/7. But they weren't paid for all of that. These were things they were actually ordered to do. It wasn't merely an expectation that they "would" do it, they were "required" to do it.
Eventually they burned out.

If they were classified as Independent Contractors, then TV wouldn't be able to tell them where to be and when. I certainly hope that's not how they classify their agents.
