When California passed AB5, the law restricting the use of independent contractors, Dee Sova left her lifelong California home and moved to Missouri to maintain her independence. Watch her story above.
Under the Biden Administration, Acting Labor Secretary and architect of AB5, Julie Su, developed cumbersome, convoluted tests to determine if someone was an independent contractor or an employee. That ruling is faced with five different lawsuits.
Under the Trump Administration, Labor Secretary Lori Chevez-DeRemer plans to rescind that unworkable rule and develop one that will ensure drivers can maintain their independence.
Additionally, to give choice more permanence and consistency, US Congressman Kevin Kiley (D-CA) is pushing the “Modern Worker Empowerment Act” through the legislative process.
