HR 1319: Reject Legislation Exploiting Workers, Protect Employee Rights!

213 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

H.R. 1319: This legislation poses a significant threat to the rights and protections of working Americans. By redefining the criteria for employee classification, it opens the door for corporations to exploit workers by reclassifying them as independent contractors. This would strip away crucial benefits like overtime pay, unemployment assistance, health coverage, and the right to unionize. Millions could lose access to these fundamental safeguards. Such a move would enable employers to sidestep labor laws and deny employees their rightful benefits and workplace protections. This tilts the balance of power heavily in favor of corporations, allowing them to keep workers in a precarious state of survival. It undermines hard-won labor rights and paves the way for increased worker exploitation. Given the severe consequences for the American workforce, I urge you to reject this legislation. Protecting the rights and well-being of working people should be a top priority. This bill represents an alarming step backwards that would leave millions vulnerable and powerless in their workplaces. Stand up for the interests of your constituents and oppose any efforts to erode the rights and protections of employees.
