Excellent interview with Britt. I find it interesting that this task force arose right around the time Jessica Looman, who is from Minnesota, was appointed admin of Biden’s Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. Here is a portion of her bio, which includes executive director of the construction trades council in Minnesota: Looman worked as the executive director of the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council from 2017 to 2021 and joined the United States Department of Labor in 2021 as the principal deputy administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. After David Weil's nomination for administrator was defeated, President Biden nominated Looman instead to the position; she was confirmed by the Senate in October 2023.
I come from a union family. I know unions can do wonderful things for families. Putting us out of work isn't one of them, though, and unions' phony proclamations of "solidarity" don't cover up their mean anger and desperation.
You know, if we're being busted because of concerns over financing unemployment and workers comp, just give us full access to them. Problem solved.
Most independent contractors I know fall right in line with the Gallup data. They support the existence of unions for employees who want them, but the independent contractors don't personally want to join one. They prefer to be their own boss and want everybody to live and let live. It really is that simple.
