“Independent contractors can’t unionize under the National Labor Relations Act, so unions and the Democrats they support want to outlaw contract work, or at least deprive it of benefits that could attract workers.” wsj.com/opinion/gig-wo…
Last week @patricepinkfile testified at a Congressional hearing advocating for legislation that provides a pathway for Independent Contractors to receive benefits while retaining the flexibility that comes with self-employment. We proudly support her efforts.…
💼 Portable Benefits Get Their Day in the Senate | @PatricePinkFile Last week, Patrice joined a panel of experts to testify before @GOPHELP on portable benefits. "We are encouraged that despite the efforts of the left to push for mass reclassification of workers, energy and…
Excited to testify this Thursday before @GOPHELP. We can protect and empower the self-employed, freelancers, and gig workers. I'll discuss how before the committee. @IWF

We need your support on the Modern Worker Empowerment Act, @RepMichaelRulli. Americans should have their rights to chase the American Dream on their own terms protected! #FightForFreelancers

Burning question for today's Ask the Governor segment on @News12NJ ... think he'll answer?
Is @GovMurphy going to instruct @NJDOLCommish to pull the rule proposal that would eliminate Independent Contractors in NJ, or is he moving forward with disastrous anti-worker policy that will cripple the regional supply chain? freelancebusting.com/p/what-a-truck…
THANK YOU Senator @vingopal & Assemblywomen @DonlonPeterpaul for urging @NJDOLCommish to pause the new rule that would hurt independent contractors in NJ. We are grateful for your support of the truckers at @PortNYNJ !
Like many other financial workers in NJ, Tema could be forced to take her work out of state due to a new law that restricts these workers’ ability to work independently for her clients.
A few years ago in a rare moment (for me) of open activism, I took up the cause of freelance writers and independent contractors. Because I am one. Because it has allowed me to be myself and make a living at it, educate my kids, etc. Because I'm also a union member, I know…
I was shocked at yesterday's U.S. Senate HELP Committee hearing when Democrat @SenTimKaine said independent contractors have a point. Please, Senator, remove yourself as a PRO Act co-sponsor until the California ABC Test language is removed. That would help us. Thank you.

Kim Kavin, a New Jersey independent worker, testified in today's hearing on empowering independent workers: "We shouldn't need a law to protect our freedom to be our own bosses. But here we are. Please pass the Modern Worker Empowerment Act & end this madness once and for all."
Thank you for making this happen! Looking forward to sharing our perspective tomorrow.
I am pleased to say that the office of @SenatorAndyKim of New Jersey has now offered to meet with us immediately after tomorrow’s hearing. Thank you all for bringing the noise to help get this done.
We'll be in Washington DC this week at a Congressional hearing where @thekimkavin will testify on Labor Policy. @GovMurphy's disastrous NJDOL proposal to eliminate ICs is getting national attention & we're going to continue making noise until he comes to his senses. Buckle up!…
Mount your EzPass or Pay more, this is what they are saying to those of us in NJ and NY I've been one of those drivers whose pass fell off and had to hold it up before, but now, if it's not properly mounted, it will apparently now net you up to a $5 increase in tolls 😳
