The coming fight over the gig economy, explained Recent highlights: 1. In 1968, the Supreme Court ruled in its United Insurance decision that the obvious purpose of Congress excluding independent contractors from the law was to have the NLRB and courts apply the common-law agency test when distinguishing an employee from an independent contractor. 2. By January 2019, the NLRB, which at this point had a Republican-appointee majority on its five-member panel, formally overturned its 2014 FedEx decision, in a case where a regional NLRB office had found that shuttle drivers who owned and operated franchises of SuperShuttle DFW were independent contractors #biyro #royalties #k1ngradio #newmusic #rap More: https://biyro.com/blog/freelance/the-coming-fight-over-the-gig-economy-explained/

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/
