John, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued its decision in The Atlanta Opera ([link removed] )  to narrow opportunities for freelancers across America as a blatant giveaway to union bosses.

The decision potentially affects more than 70 million Americans who work as independent contractors, small business owners, or gig workers by restricting their ability to pursue self-employment and flexible work.

The board’s decision is a clear misinterpretation of the National Labor Relations Act specifically intended to benefit organized labor.

Unions attempt to organize less than one-tenth of one percent of all eligible employees in this country!

But, rather than simply trying harder at fulfilling the purpose of their existence, union bosses have chosen to rely on Washington bureaucrats to push workers their way, and the Biden NLRB has -- unsurprisingly – obliged.

But, John, bureaucrats are NOT the final answer on American jobs.

Congress should respond immediately by passing the Employee Rights Act, introduced by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Representative Rick Allen R-GA), to codify a sensible definition of ‘employee’ and protect the livelihoods of more than 70 million American freelance workers.

Americans facing sky-high inflation and life after lockdowns want flexibility and freedom in their careers now more than ever. The Employee Rights Act helps protect this flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit. The bill empowers Americans with more opportunities by making sure our laws are keeping up with the labor market and guaranteeing the workplace protections and choices they need.

While the Biden Administration continues to pursue a dated and rigid workplace vision that puts special interests above workers’ interests, the Employee Rights Act would eliminate barriers to opportunity and protect workers’ rights, ensuring that all Americans can thrive.

Best,
