The U.S. Department of Labor scheduled two public forums to get feedback regarding worker classification definitions.

At the first forum on June 24, dozens of workers and organizational leaders asked the Labor Department to not make it more difficult for a person to be designated as an independent contractor. A second public forum is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, June 29. Those who would like to participate can register here.

The Department of Labor said it is using the public forums to help establish definitions of “employee” and “independent contractor” under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

Not really "trucking" news, but given the concerns with AB5, this might be something worth paying attention to and maybe even participating.
