Rep. McDermott introduced legislation that would make it more difficult for individuals to qualify as independent contractors. In addition to adding burdensome processes for companies who engage with contractors, the legislation also increases the penalties if a worker is misclassified. McDermott has expressed the desire to work with key stakeholders. Send an email or phone call to your member of Congress to express your desire to stay independent.
