Save Independent Work in New Jersey!
Governor Phil Murphy’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development wants to make it harder for independent workers in New Jersey to make a living.
The Department recently proposed a rule that would change how the state classifies independent workers. It could threaten the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people across the state by reclassifying them as W-2 employees against their will.
NJ regulators and lawmakers need to hear from you. Tell them to protect independent workers and oppose this harmful rule!
