This law destroyed a contract programming business I had been working for nearly 30 years
Now the Dem's want to take it national.

If you get a 1099 from anyone you do work for, this law is aimed at you

QuoteWith the rise of gig economy jobs such as driving for Uber and other forms of independent work enabled by the digital era, more than 57 million Americans now work as freelancers in some capacity. But President Biden just endorsed a radical labor law that endangers their livelihood.

House Democrats recently reintroduced the PRO Act, which, among many sweeping reforms, would make many commonplace forms of independent contractor (freelance) arrangements illegal. It's based on a California law that was so dysfunctional even voters in the very blue state voted to change it.

"The Administration strongly encourages the House to pass [the PRO Act] and looks forward to working with the Congress to enact this critical legislation that safeguards workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively," the White House said in a statement on Monday. "The PRO Act will strengthen our democracy and advance dignity in the workplace."

Far from "advancing dignity," in reality, this law would strip millions of their income.

Democrats want to kill the Republic. Judging from the fact they can't get rid of that treasonous gas bag Pelosi shows you what Democrats ARE REALLY about.
