Speak Up Before April 28
More than 70 million Americans earn income as independent contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and self-employed professionals.
For many, this isn’t a side hustle—it’s how they pay their bills, support their families, and build their futures.
In 2024, a confusing federal rule put that freedom at risk.
The Biden-era rule imposed a complicated six-factor test that created uncertainty and established unnecessary restrictions on flexible work opportunities nationwide.
That means:
- Fewer freelance opportunities
- Less flexible work
- Reduced income options
- More workers pushed into rigid 9–5 roles
We’ve already seen what happens in states like California when similar restrictions were imposed: freelancers lost income, contracts, and their livelihoods.
Now, the Department of Labor is proposing a new rule to fix it—and they need to hear from the people who rely on independent work. Reversing the Biden-era rule and restoring clarity to protect freelance freedom.
This reform protects:
- Moms who build businesses around school schedules
- Military spouses who move frequently
- People with disabilities who need flexible environments
- Rural workers earning remotely
- Professionals supplementing income during inflation
- Entrepreneurs building small businesses
- Gig workers earning side income
If you value the freedom to work on your own terms, now is the time to speak up.
