“Public sector unions … were instrumental in securing the passage of Assembly Bill 5, which took effect in 2020. AB 5 required companies to reclassify independent contractors as employees, wreaking havoc on essential industries.”

[Kim Kavin @thekimkavin]

“Despite government-imposed barriers and unnecessary red tape, independent contractors remain a driving force in the American economy. Imagine what they could achieve if the government got out of the way.” https://t.co/fWltvhANQm

@Rep_Magaziner @Labor_Caucus @ShawnFainUAW Still waiting for you to meet with the 72 MILLION Americans who are freelancers/independent contractors about protecting their rights to work on their own terms.

You’re supposed to represent us all.

Stop #FreelanceBusting, & #FightForFreelancers.

[Fight for Freelancers USA @Freelancers_USA]

@RepJoshG @Labor_Caucus When will you fight for the many NJ freelancers/independent contractors who choose to work on their own terms?

Instead, you continue trying to MISclassify us as employees of our clients via PRO Act’s ABC test.

Stop #FreelanceBusting & #FightForFreelancers.

[BiStateMotorCarriers @BiStateMC]

“They take our money and our voice.” — Erika, San Francisco hotel worker

UNITE HERE bosses claim to speak for workers. Hotel employees across the country tell a different story.

@RepBynum @Labor_Caucus @LaborCaucus What about the 90% of Americans who aren’t in unions? When will you fight for us?

Instead, you continue trying to MISclassify 72 MILLION freelancers/independent contractors who choose to work on their own terms as employees of their clients via PRO Act’s ABC test.

Why???

[Fight for Freelancers USA @Freelancers_USA]

@DonaldNorcross @Labor_Caucus False. You’ve been attacking 72 million freelancers/independent contractors who choose to work on their own terms for 5 yrs, trying to MISclassify us as employees of our clients via PRO Act’s ABC test.

You’re supposed to represent us all.

@rep_jackson @Labor_Caucus When will you fight for the 72 MILLION freelancers/independent contractors who choose to work on their own terms?

We’re waiting.

New from me:

New Jersey Democrats, having tried and failed to attack independent contractors with legislation, are signaling that they intend to use the state's Labor Department as a bureaucratic workaround to threaten our livelihoods all over again.

@GovKathyHochul Gov Hochul—you attacked NYC freelancers when you signed the Freelancers Isn’t Free bill a year after you declined to sign this same bill as overreach by the govt of what should remain in the court system. Unions got to you on Thanksgiving. Freelancers want a chance to succeed too

[Institute For The American Worker @Inst4AW]

This fight is about more than just my paycheck. It’s about standing up for the principles that make America what it is — freedom of association and the right to decide for yourself what causes deserve your support.

Just a thought- if we want more American jobs and economic growth, maybe we shouldn't be forcing millions of small businesses to not do business or even be put out of business by mandate?

[Fight for Freelancers USA @Freelancers_USA]

@Rep_Stansbury @Labor_Caucus Where’s the seat at the table for the millions of freelancers/independent contractors who choose to work on their own terms? You’ve been attacking us for 5 years, trying to MISclassify us as employees of our clients via PRO Act’s ABC test.

Stop #FreelanceBusting.

[Kim Kavin @thekimkavin]

@oren_cass @AmerCompass You forgot “threatening the livelihoods of legitimate independent contractors”

Which is the most immoral part of the whole bill

[Fight for Freelancers USA @Freelancers_USA]

@RepLaMonica @Labor_Caucus @AFGENational @NFFE_Union @CWAUnion @LIUNA_NWRegion False. You & @TheDemocrats continue trying to MISclassify 72 MILLION Americans who choose to work as freelancers/independent contractors as employees of our clients via PRO Act’s ABC test.

Stop #FreelanceBusting & #FightForFreelancers.

You’re supposed to represent us all.

[Freelancer-Dispatch #FightforFreelancers @FreelancerDisp]

@repdinatitus @LaborCaucus @SenSanders @AOC @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @NYSenatorRamos @DNC Most workers, even W2, don’t want unions. 70M freelancers sure don’t want unions either.

(So no to sectoral bargaining, too. We see what you’re doing.)

“They harassed us every day.”

Maria, a hotel worker in Chicago, fought to keep her job free from union control.

Her story—and Erika’s in San Francisco—expose the truth about UNITE HERE.
