This has already passed in committee. Congress (which is supposed to be in recess) has actually come back to slip this in under the radar while most people aren't looking. The House and Senate still need to vote on this.

    It won't make ALL employees contractors unless businesses restructure themselves in order to specifically do that. Which of course they might. Really this is mostly fucking gig workers and free lancers

    If you honestly think they're going to stop with free lancers and gig workers, I've got some land in Alaska to sell you. Please just watch the video. This is not just going to affect gig workers and freelancers.
