Biden Labor Department Seeks to Redefine Independent Contractors Quick summary: 1. Even as the administration was asking the Court not to intervene, the Labor Department began holding listening sessions on independent contractor status, in anticipation of issuing a rule that would redefine contractors nationwide in the same way as the California law. 2. Stymied in Congress, however, the administration now seems likely to impose at least one component of that legislation on the workplace through a Department of Labor rule that would narrow the definition of an independent contractor in ways similar to California's controversial AB5 law #biyro #indiemusic #interview #bmi #ascap More: https://biyro.com/blog/freelance/biden-labor-department-seeks-to-redefine-independent-contractors/
