My fast-track legislation to overturn Biden's "Independent Contractor" rule now has 40 co-authors. Ask your Representative to sign on. The Biden Administration admits this rule nationalizes California's AB 5 catastrophe. The livelihoods of millions of Americans are at stake.

"to justify taking away the autonomy, rights & earning potential of tens of millions of independent contractors, as the latest U.S. Department of Labor rule seeks to do, Ms. Gerstein ignores the professional class of “solopreneurs.” #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

Until you stop #FreelanceBusting regulations like the U.S. Department of Labor IC rule that would harm the livelihoods of 72 MILLION Americans , you can’t claim to invest in an “inclusive economy” for ALL workers. You’re supposed to represent us all, Acting Secretary Julie Su. #FightForFreelancers

Yup, I was in that room and spoke early in the comment period. Jessica Looman left the room after making her comments. The only U.S. Department of Labor people left were apparently notetakers. I say apparently because we asked for their names. No one would tell us. #WhatTheHellDOL
