I just got a haircut. The woman who cuts my hair, her husband is an owner-operator trucker. We listened on my phone to part of the Senate Judiciary hearing with the acting labor commissioner while she trimmed. We heard senator after senator say there's just too much confusion about this ABC Test rule and something needs to change The hairdresser told me her husband is already seeing trucking companies telling independent-contractor drivers they're done. It's just too much risk now with this rule that nobody can figure out. He's worried he'll have to sell his rig and be out of business entirely She's asking me if I'm OK as a freelance writer, because I'm one of her longtime clients. If independent contractors like me lose our incomes and can't afford to remain her clients, then she takes a financial hit too even though she's a W-2 employee Another woman in the salon came up to us and asked if I was the person she heard the other day on NJ101.5. She said she was listening and thinking about all the independent-contractor hairdressers in the state I cannot stress how much New Jersey's ABC Test rule needs to be invalidated immediately, and our Legislature must act to protect us all from this madness ever happening again
