Tell the Department of Labor to stop job-killing regulations.                                                                                         

Hi Friend, Did you know that 36% of working Americans earn primary incomes or extra cash as independent contractors? From Uber drivers to holiday Santa performers and various other consultants, tens of millions of people are making a living as independent workers. The federal government recently proposed new regulations on independent contractors that would make it more difficult for them to retain their independent status. If enacted, self-employed professionals could be reclassified as employees — stripping away flexibility, livelihoods, and hampering economic recovery. This is not a done deal…yet.  Tell the Department of Labor this is the wrong rule at the wrong time.  Want to learn more about this “crack down” on independent workers? I sat down with Independent Women’s Forum Senior Fellow Gabriella Hoffman to discuss this effort and how it could have devastating impacts on millions of workers nationwide as similar restrictions in California did through the AB5 law.
