Subcommittee on Workforce Protections to Hold Hearing on Independent Contractors

Tomorrow, April 19, at 10:15 a.m., the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, chaired by Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), will hold a hearing titled “Examining Biden’s War on Independent Contractors.”

“The last thing our economy needs right now is overreaching federal policies that discourage work and attack workers,” said Chair Kiley. “Yet DOL’s independent contractor rule and the PRO Act, like AB 5 in California, do just that - depriving millions of Americans of the opportunity to work independently and start their own business. The Biden administration is all in on these failed policies, even nominating the architect of the disastrous AB 5 law, Julie Su, to head the Department of Labor. Our committee will protect the freedom of American workers to earn a living as they choose and will fight every effort by Washington bureaucrats to take that right away.”
