House Education and Workforce Committee Advances Resolution to Rescind SWACCA-Supported Independent Contractor Final Rule
The House Education and the Workforce Committee voted 21-13 along party lines to advance H. J. Res. 116, a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Department of Labor’s SWACCA-supported independent contractor final rule. This final rule makes it harder for employers to misclassify their workers as independent contractors. SWACCA has been advocating against congressional efforts to overturn this important rulemaking, including sending letters to the House and Senate last week opposing the CRA efforts. H.J. Res. 116 now heads to the House floor for consideration.
