"Wrongly classifying an employee as an independent contractor could cost an employer $10,000 for early offenses, but “repeated or willful” offenses could mean a fine of up to $30,000." This is what comes AFTER the #PROAct. Now r u getting it!? #votenopro thehill.com/opinion/financ…

I'm sick of the Biden admin's whack-a-mole, trying to turn me from self-employed independent contractor to employee. Leave the #FLSA definition alone. I earn more as an IC, more flexibility, more stability. #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers


I am a solopreneur with a thriving business. I work on my own terms and make my own rates. I'm not an employee and I'm not misclassified. @USDOL @POTUS want us all under their thumb. Enough is enough, leave us alone! #WhatTheHellDOL

Why do @POTUS & @USDOL insist on the ABC test to define independent contractors? I'm a lifelong Democrat and will lose my successful business. I'm not being taken advantage of. Do you realize this will put nearly 60 million of us out of work? #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

Big companies are just going to change how they do business to skirt your IC law/rules. They're not going to automatically hire ICs as employees. The IC who is a small biz owner is just going to lose that biz. That's not your intent, right? #WhatTheHellDOL

I am a freelancer because I am a backup caregiver for both sets of grandparents. This allows me a flexible schedule so if they need me, I can be there for them. #WhatTheHellDOL

#WhatTheHellDOL I more than tripled my income when I left my FT job to freelance. I have flexibility, choose my own clients, and am more financially stable than I ever was while working for an employer. #fightforfreelancers #NoABCforUSA

Thread on the amicus brief that the SPJ Freelance Community Board signed into, speaking up for the right for freelance journalists to remain independent.



Choice of self-employment has been legal since the nation was founded. No one should take away that right. Exactly why today we, along w/a coalition of 250K, filed an amicus brief w/@NLRB urging it to respect our right. bit.ly/3oEAh2d #ReadTheBrief #FightForFreelancers

New from me today⁩: “This thinking about those of us trying to protect our choice of independent contractor work shows a lack of respect for women, in particular, who are smart, hardworking, and successful as our own bosses.” #FightForFreelancers inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

Women fighting to protect freelance jobs aren’t ‘hysterical’ | Opinion

We make up an increasingly large share of independent contractors, and we are trying to protect ourselves from new laws that threaten our chosen careers.

“A key challenge: Recognizing the difference between ‘on-demand gigsters’ and ‘freelancers’ who are independent professionals. These populations have different needs. Let’s protect the former without penalizing the latter.” forbes.com/sites/jonyoung…

72% of PPP money went to the upper-class. For every job saved, $111k extra went to rich business owners and investors who just pocketed the money. Every cent spent by people on welfare is scrutinized but the rich can do whatever they want with handouts nytimes.com/2022/02/01/bus…

“There's still a misconception out there that independent workers are simply pursuing ‘side hustles’ … but that’s no longer the case. Increasingly, freelancers are independent contractors who are running self-owned companies full time.” entrepreneur.com/article/411464
