Episode description
Returning guest Kim Kavin is a full-time, freelance journalist and one of the co-founders of Fight for Freelancers USA.
Albeit reluctantly, Ms. Kavin is one of the nation’s most knowledgeable individuals on how union-backed politicians and agency bureaucrats are attempting to outlaw independent contracting through legislative and regulatory fiat.
In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Ms. Kavin joins host Peter List to discuss and break down the Department of Labor’s recently announced Proposed Rules for Independent Contractors, and how it appears to be similar to California’s failed ‘ABC Test.’
As there are 59 million Americans who participate in the ‘gig economy’ as independent contractors, with the period for public comments closing on November 28, 2022, Ms. Kavin urges people who want to have a voice on this very important issue to go to the Federal Register and leave a comment (link here).
