Hundreds of Americans voiced their support for the @USDOL's Independent Contractor rule, warning against the Left’s crackdown on independent work. #IWpol #AB5 #PROact bit.ly/35gT8qF

"The threats to independent contracting today are real and growing. We have a House of Representatives & an incoming Biden administration that supports the #PROAct—a nationalized version of California’s job-killing #AB5—as well as other states contemplating copy-cat legislation."

Please also do an article on the harm that California’s AB5 has done to high-skilled/paid Independent Contractors. All we hear about are ‘gig drivers’. This law and it’s national version, the ProAct with the 1937 ABC test, might have been intended to help but has hurt. @Ab5Of

CA hospitals are understaffed because they can't bring in the normal IC nurses due to #AB5. The influx of COVID patients is not being handled, as a direct result of AB5.
Gov. Newsom and the Legislature repeatedly chose to weaken our healthcare workforce this year by rejecting my legislation to repeal or suspend #AB5.

Lorena Gonzalez, the bills author, wants to be appointed to SoS if Padilla gets promoted to the Senate. We have a campaign to prevent this (or any other appointment) from happening...

- granting ICs the right to organize

“I decided to become an independent contractor because it was flexible” Marguerite Kusuhara is an entertainer & her favorite role is being 🤶 Mrs. Claus.
Now, thanks to #AB5, she won’t be able to bring joy to kids this 🎄 Christmas.

If the PRO Act became law, it would undoubtedly leave millions of the nation’s 57 million freelancers unemployed, perhaps indefinitely.

Keep pushing, Kevin! Thank You!!!
The Legislature returns Dec. 7, and I'm introducing 5 bills immediately: opening schools, ending arbitrary business closures, abolishing indefinite States of Emergency, repealing AB 5, and electing our U.S. Senator.

🎄 Christmas is canceled… if California liberals get their way. CA’s job-killing law, #AB5, is sending 🎅 Santa Claus to the unemployment line.
Hear Patrick’s story about how he can’t perform as Santa because of AB5. iwf.org/ab5

The trucking industry may be under #AB5 restrictions very soon.
“The prospect of California’s AB5 impacting the state’s trucking sector moved a step closer to reality Thursday..."

As millions continue to lose livelihoods over #AB5, are forced to move, lose their homes, or cannot afford to feed their kids, @LorenaAD80 reminisces about the vacations given to her by those same taxpayers.
Blast from the past! Just found this picture of @KevinMcCartyCA and me circa 2002. We were staffing Lt.Governor Bustamante for a meeting with Mexican President Fox at Los Pinos & took a side trip to the pyramids.

Imagine leaving your home because your government forced your business out and you to move out of state?
California's #AB5 killed the Butler's cabin business.

"The government can only take what you let them."
-- CA Assemblyman James Gallagher @J_GallagherAD3
#AB5 will be demolished. We will not allow government to be complicit in wage theft and misclassification of freelancers.
