Workers built this country. And union workers built a strong middle class.

I'm urging Congress to pass the #PROAct and protect the right to bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplace conditions.

Influencing and gig work are dominated by opportunistic employers happy to exploit the energy and openness of youth…while providing little to no contribution to future career growth and stability

(This is why I believe the #ABCtest should happen at the biz, not worker level)

'Whether a worker is properly characterized and treated as an employee or as an independent contractor is a complex but increasingly important inquiry.'

Heidi Shierholz Has anyone looked into similar effects of the largest-employer GOVERNMENT itself engaging in that very #misclassification ??

Numbers clearly show the majority of govt workers are 'contractors'— and often misclassified if you apply e.g. the ' #ABCtest '.

President Biden Please modify the #PROAct to eliminate the #ABCTest — it cripples small businesses. See California’s AB5 carveouts to understand how unworkable it is.
Basic PRO Act is good. ABC Test is bad.

Old news Congresswoman Grace Meng.

Julie Su sealed her fate by her overzealous enforcement of CA #AB5 w/ its jobs-killing #ABCtest which obliterated 1099 independent contractors.

I have faith Senator Joe Manchin Kyrsten Sinema Senator Mark Kelly Senator Jon Tester will vote no confirmation!

No. You are doing your best to nuke the most effective people of all: #freelancers . Stop being disingenuous. No #PROAct . No #ABCtest . No U.S. Department of Labor end run. Abolish #AB5 .

Check out my interview about AB5 and its scandal-plagued author Lorena Gonzalez. Thanks to Peter List for having me on the show. open.spotify.com/episode/6axCsS…

This is not a drill: YOUR right to #freelance is at grave risk -- NOT just 'gig workers' but ANY kind of consultant, artist, craftsperson, instructor, minister, designer, writer or service provider of ANY kind will be GONE THIS YEAR if Julie A. Su is confirmed.
CALL YOUR SENATOR…

It’s astonishing to me that The Democrats don’t care that they are attacking entire #families by trying to shove #freelancers out of #business with #ABCTest . And attacking #IC #military #spouses . Robert Jackson Jessica Ramos (((Deborah Glick))) President Biden

The court noted the plaintiffs’ allegations regarding their exclusion from the wide-ranging exceptions to the #ABCtest are enough to sustain a claim that they were singled out in violation of #EqualProtectionClause . #IndependentContractor #Classification

'Grubhub failed to meet the business-to-business exemption so the #ABCtest governs the minimum wage and overtime claim... Grubhub also failed to meet its burden that Lawson’s work delivering food was outside the usual course of business.'

Last week, the SenateHELP Committee Committee and
House Committee on Education & the Workforce questioned Labor Secretary nominee #julieSu 's past including as Labor Sec in CA and as current Deputy Secretary at U.S. Department of Labor, pointing out the harm CA's #AB5 law has caused & the harm an #ABCtest would cause nationally

No Congressman Eric Sorensen your House floor speech urging passage of #PROAct nothing but union talking points.

Workers already have the right to Organize & your support of #HR20 means you support the jobs-killing #ABCtest harming IL's 2.8 million independent contractors. #twill #IL17

There’s a better way to give moms time back: protect independent contracting. Sen. Scott’s Employee Right Act would ensure freelancing survives. The U.S. Department of Labor needs to abandon its rule, and no senator should support a labor nominee who is an adversary to ICs. iwf.org/2023/05/14/tim…

Kim Kavin Senate Republican Communications Center HELP Committee GOP Senator Ted Budd Notice how she didn't answer the question, and how she answered it affirmed her commitment to AB5 and the ABC test. As a freelance journalist I should be able to sell my work to magazines that already have reporters because I may bring an expertise staff does not have. I have…

Yes, George V. Hulme, #juliesu loves the #ABCtest ! She drops in unions’ magic-bullet word “ #misclassification ” after the made-for-hearings “bona fide independent contractors.” She wants to decide who gets rated “bona fide.” She knows the ABC test excludes all ICs by design.

American workers are ready to work harder than anyone else.

They just need a chance.

This Administration is bringing back good-paying jobs you can raise a family on – whether or not you went to college.

We've been spreading the word since 2020. Still, folks don't know about #AB5 and the #ABCtest that's destroyed livelihoods in California and could be included in the #ProAct .

Of course Ms. Padin is using the same misleading union talking points we've been hearing from #AB5 #PROAct and #ABCtest supporters for YEARS. And the Dems are directing all their questions to her and not any of the panelists who represent legitimate independent contractors.

I wear different hats -- freelancer (most work) and union member (teacher). Union family. Alas, my Senator Bernie Sanders cannot grasp this. He is unable to conceive of a world where unions might be bad for some citizens. No to ABC. No to Julie Su. Please visit Fight for Freelancers USA

Great thread that shows why many women choose to freelance and how #ABCtest in bills like #PROAct #AB5 make it impossible. If Dems succeed in outlawing self-employment it WON'T create union jobs or increase union membership. Companies will just hire freelancers located outside US
