With a new Labor Dept rule that reclassifies independent contractors, the Biden Admin declares war on the so-called gig economy and countless companies that use freelancers. "(Biden) Admin proving it’s an equal-opportunity jobs killer." https://t.co/OGZT4qeW5S via @WSJ

National Review: A recent regulatory change by the Biden administration is so poorly designed, there’s no telling exactly how many workers will be hurt. From actors and designers to truckers and construction workers, I’ve heard the same thing over and over. Independent contracting gives workers the flexibility to pursue their passions, either full-time or on the side. But now, as many as 73 million Americans who are independent contractors could lose that freedom. So may every American who might have pursued this path in the future. On January 10, President Biden’s Labor Department issued a new rule that will gut independent contracting nationwide. While the department and much of the media are framing the rule as a win for workers, it’s anything but. The Biden administration, which claims the rule will make it easier for workers to get employment benefits, overtime pay, and minimum wage, is really looking out for the interests of labor unions, which have struggled to organize independent contractors and find it much easier to go after traditional employees. There’s nothing pro-worker about stifling workers in favor of special interests (National Review).
