Up to 72 million Americans participate in the gig economy as 1099 independent contractors and are under siege by state and federal bureaucrats.
Following the U.S. Department of Labor’s releasing its final rule to limit the freedom of individuals to earn a living though independent contracting, the founders of Fight For Freelancers, a coalition of more than 2,500 freelancers in professions ranging from writing to truck driving, filed a lawsuit through the Pacific Legal Foundation.
