Oppose H.R. 1319. This bill is a full-on assault on American workers.
It would make it easier for corporations to reclassify employees as “independent contractors,” stripping millions of people of basic protections:
• No minimum wage
• No overtime pay
• No health coverage
• No unemployment insurance
• No job security
• No legal recourse
All while forcing workers to pay more in taxes and absorb all the risk—just to benefit corporate profits.
This isn’t worker empowerment. It’s legalized exploitation. It’s modern-day feudalism.
H.R. 1319 is being pushed through with no public debate and no worker input while Congress is on recess. That alone is a red flag.
We’re watching. We’re organizing. And we will not forget who stood with working people and who stood with corporations.
Kill this bill. Workers’ rights are non-negotiable.
