"State Senator Vin Gopal and Assemblywomen Margie Donlon and Luanne Peterpaul have formally requested the [NJDOL] pause implementation of a proposed rule that would redefine how independent contractors are classified in the state." tapinto.net/towns/asbury-p…

At last week's @GOPHELP hearing in the U.S. Senate, one of the Senators asked me to explain the concept of "freelance busting." Turns out AI now knows what it is too... on Grok, on Google, everywhere!

If you, or someone you know, is an independent contractor, you need to be aware of this. Your livelyhood depends on it.

Friends, we need some help to get Congressman Rulli on board with our cause. It would be great if you have a minute to call and ask him to help independent contractors by supporting the Modern Worker Empowerment Act. The more calls, the better. (202) 225-5705 Thank you!
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 !
