Crime will be fresh on the minds of voters during November’s midterm elections. But there is no greater robbery than that being planned by the Biden administration. What it’s proposing is a government-backed mugging.
In essence, the White House wants to outlaw gig work in America. No, it’s not saying so outright. The Biden Labor Department obscures that harsh reality with words meant to deceive. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh says the department’s proposal is needed to safeguard “our nation’s most vulnerable workers,” and ensure they are not deprived “of their federal labor protections.”

This is part II. Part I is to make sure that if you a re normal you can't participate in normal commerce. Then, they'll make sure you can't operate outside normal commerce, either.

There is no aspect of our lives that democrats don’t want to control. They are totalitarians and want to impose their will on everyone else and the are determined to make it happen. How did such a freedom loving country produce such utter tyrants? Who in their right mind would choose oppression over tyranny? Wait, I believe I answered my own question. These people are truly insane.

A person who referees for youth or adult recreation teams will be”employed” by what entity? The home team, the individual school districts, the referee assignor? Can you imagine said referee getting 10 or 15 or more different W2s each year? Employer tax IDs? Admin costs of setting, tracking and maintaining said info by these “employers?” Ridiculous.

As the article points out, so-called Gig workers value their independence and do not want to work 'for the man'. When you need more money you work your tail off for a while. When you want time off, you just shut off the alarm clock and sleep in.

This will lead to an explosion in the black market of services - and gov't will use as excuse to eliminate cash money.

Next Biden and the leftist Democrats will be creating an international migrant (illegal alien) labor union.

Biteme wants gig workers forced into dues-paying members of unions…and said unions will then dutifully send those dues to the Democrats.

Commy-fornia has already actually done this. Essentially no independent contractors are permitted in that rotten, Communist-run state.
Now the Demonrats want to cripple the economy even MORE. Destroyers, they smash every single thing that they touch.

Since this is a rule from a federal agency that would have a MAJOR impact, I suspect the recent SCOTUS ruling concerning the limitation of federal agency powers to make such changes without Congressional action may come into play. It would most certainly be challenged in court.

Today's Federal Government and especially this Administration and Democrat led Congress have no resemblance to anything we have ever known in American history. We have competing forces that are Communist/Bolshevik and Nazi, and Fascist (Corporatism), and Neocons. The American individual has been eliminated and is viewed as only a commodity. Those living in the past hoping that things will change have two fundamental flaws in their thinking. First they believe Elections matter at this stage and Second they believe a Knight is shining armor on a white steed will save us.

Re #2. I live in Virginia and heard on local talk radio this morning about some survey that shows Gov Youngkin more popular with Democrats here in VA than Biden - something like %50+ for Youngkin vs. %30+ for Biden. But then the news announcer said that same Dems who took the survey would still vote for an unnamed Democrat in a generic Congressional race against an unnamed Republican. Idiots.

I hate the term “rule of law.” It is a stupid canard that cheapens the purpose of law.- to protect individual rights of life, liberty, and property. We now suffer the soft tyranny of “lawfare.” That is, we are subjugated through the use of legislation that continuously destroys our individual rights. This article sums up this legal tyranny quite well.
It is good that people have awakened to their plight in these times of globalist tyranny. The lawfare that is being waged against us is a quiet death for our liberty. We look at the shiny thing now - inflation, Ukraine, racial division - while THEY continue to quietly gut the Constitution, thus We the People.
Thomas Jefferson said that people are apt to suffer the ills they have become accustomed to rather than change. But, he also recognized that there comes a time when change must be made in order to secure individual liberty. We are at the threshold of that time.

I came here to say what 7 said. This is all about unions getting more cash to give to the DNC.
It is also about directly controlling the gig workers so cash payments and other off the books work becomes impossible and therefore more easily tracked and taxed and further regulated. That regulation and tax regime will of course require hiring more government workers who are also in a union (!!!!) and thus the circle is complete.

Remember when Hillary was boasting of this amazing GIG economy just a few years back?

not deprived “of their federal labor protections.”
Why not? You seem intent on depriving us of our First and Second Amendment guarantees, and those are foundational (whereas Federal labor protections are statutory). Google Facebook Youtube, Marty. (and FJB, for that matter)

We use a local maid service. Not incorporated. Just a (legal) immigrant family. Does that mean I have to actually employ them, pay SS tax, insurance benefits, take out withholding tax, etc.? They work for several different families here. It would be easier just to fire them and use a house cleaning corporation. I won't of course, they have become almost part of our family over the last thirty years. The Democrat Party is quickly destroying this country.
