New video series by Fight for Freelancers USA just launched. The series is called "Right vs. Wrong." Today's topic: misclassification. It's wrong when it's done to employees--and it's wrong when the ABC Test in the #PROAct will do it to independent contractors. youtu.be/lLncLYBT93o

Dear Cory Booker, Senator Bob Menendez and Archived: Rep. Tom Malinowski, You are my voice in D.C. Worker misclassification is wrong, for any reason, and in any law. Please watch this 2-minute video. The ABC Test must be removed from the #PROAct. #FightForFreelancers youtu.be/lLncLYBT93o

Lawmakers must reject #PROAct’s ABC Test to protect millions of Americans who earn a living as independent contractors. youtu.be/DMTvGDLLS7w @SenatorSinema Kyrsten Sinema Captain Mark Kelly Senator Joe Manchin Mark Warner SenateHELP Committee U.S. Senate Small Biz & Entrepreneurship Committee #FightforFreelancers #NoABCforUSA

2/10 This article opens with a straw-man argument, telling the story of what sounds like a "permalancer" whose situation would be illegal under *existing* law. That woman's sad tale is then used to suggest the need for passing the #PROAct.

READ THIS, Secretary Marty Walsh. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. MA's use of the ABC test is causing great harm to #freelancers/independent contractors. As proven in CA and now MA, the ABC test provides much more harm than good, & should be tossed out forever—both at the USDOL & in #PROAct.

Fight for Freelancers NJ is proud to be recognized for its work against ABC Test-based legislation that threatens the livelihoods of independent contractors in NJ: …ghtforfreelancers.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/asja-a…

Bill Hinchberger Debutante 🇮🇱 On Hiatius Again Fight4Freelancers I see both sides reported in this article. Governor Phil Murphy with his standard anti-freelancer talking points, and New Jersey Civil Justice Institute defending us.

Happy to see New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli say the state should stop attacking us independent contractors. youtu.be/XZ2AADqdods

Well look at this. An NJ politician who says out loud what we've long said: the ABC Test must be removed from legislation. @jack4NJ calls for freelancers to keep their independent contractor status. #fightforfreelancers bit.ly/2YfQyAk

Fight for Freelancers NJ says thanks to Assemblyman Bergen for pulling his sponsorship for the #NJcaddygate bill that would carve out independent contractor protections only for caddies.

Yet the #NJcaddygate bill is still moving forward. You'll recall that we fought the bill that would reclassify independent contractors as employees in many instances. This bill will give exemptions to golf caddies only.

Mark Joseph Suarez Jessica S. 🌻😷 Debbie Abrams Kaplan We’re not going to the Statehouse to debate the status of caddies. We’re going to the Statehouse to call out the ridiculousness of *only* protecting them as independent contractors, when so many others are at least equally deserving of that protection under the law.

Skip to 4:30 to hear yours truly, followed by the great Debbie Abrams Kaplan, letting N.J. lawmakers know at the Statehouse yesterday what we think about their bill to protect independent contractors—but *only* the ones who are golf caddies. #FightForFreelancers njleg.state.nj.us/media/mp.asp?M…

Know how we fought to protect NJ independent contractors ? Well, one group got protection. Per diem healthcare workers in Covid surges? No. Musicians & entertainers who lost so much in the shutdowns? Nope.... All ICs deserve protection from the ABC Test. bit.ly/3GML01s

Some of our founders testified in Trenton about a bill exempting only golf caddies from the anti-independent contractor ABC Test. To the rest of us, it's like Judge Smails said in Caddyshack: "You'll get nothing and like it." #fightforfreelancers politi.co/322ukDK

All independent contractors in NJ deserve protections, not just golf caddies. #fightforfreelancers

The #fightforfreelancers NJ leaders, on why we need Trenton lawmakers to protect the livelihoods of solopreneurs by sending Senate Bill 599 to Murphy’s desk with a veto-proof majority. Kim Kavin Debbie Abrams Kaplan @JenSinger

George V. Hulme My guess is it’ll be as close to ABC as they can get without actually doing ABC

Looks like we're going to have to set our GPSes for Trenton again. #fightforfreelancers

There are 59 million independent contractors and yet, just a small percentage of us drive rideshare. Nobody asks us what we think, when we're the ones poised to lose our businesses. #fightforfreelancers
