The Department of Labor has announced a new independent contractor rule, which, in fact, targets independent contractors across America. It is based upon AB5, a truly destructive California law that has devastated independent professionals in over 600 professions. In hopes of trying to get this House to act to stop this rule from taking effect next month, I am sharing the stories of California freelancers and independent contractors who have been harmed by AB5, which President Biden has called his model for national labor relations. One story comes from Jodie. Jodie said: I worked years to gain my skills as an American Sign Language interpreter. It was my goal since I was 9 years old. After AB5, I lost all three of my agencies. The dream I worked for is lost. I can't provide for my family and thousands of California deaf won't be served. In order to spare millions of Americans the same fate as Jodie, I am asking for bipartisan support for my legislation under the Congressional Review Act to nullify the Biden administration's new independent contractor rule. ____________________
