pass legislation behind closed doors? Is this a shadow government now?

the house can't actually pass anything during a recess, but all kinds of other activities can continue.

BTW, does that mean that House Oversight Committee will be able to review the Epstein List once they get it from the DOJ?

Most companies set that at 12 months, some at 18 months & very few at 24 months.

Wouldn't this also allow the corporations who will be 'renting out' detainees for labor to declare them contract workers...? therefore the corporations can get kickbacks and slave labor becomes legal?

I hope you're right. Otherwise it's game over for anyone wanting a decent job under a responsible employer.

Well, so-called representative. He only represents himself.
Tom Tiffany, northern Wisconsin, has fantasies of running for governor. Blecch!
Thank you for this information.

She's too busy writing legislation to "define what a woman is". I'm not kidding you. I'm sure it's all about keeping transgender people out of sports, but what a piece of work she is.

so let us rob you blind."

Too bad so many 'Muricans fall for this scam.

That will work out great for menial, general labor or practically any other job.

These motherfuckers are out to destroy everything from the last 100+ years that was enacted to help keep workers from practically being owned & poorly paid slaves.

Labor & unions need to get off of their asses and quit trying to make deals with this evil bastard Trump. There is NO negotiating with him or his people because they will renege on every single solitary promise. They are trying to take away job protections so basic and so old & critical that people don't even know they exist.

MAGAs are not patriots or rugged individualists. They want corporations to nursemaid them for their every need. They are cowards and pussies who are terrified of self-governance.

It was first introduced in the House back in February. This wasn't the nefarious hidden action it's being made out to be.

Also, there is a difference between an independent contractor and a contract worker.

If a company hires temporary workers from a temp help firm, those are contract workers, not independent contractors. They are technically employees of the temp help firm.

An independent contractor has no connection to an individual company.

It's also not clear that all of the listed consequences would apply to all affected workers. I believe all states have their own Labor Standards Acts which vary from state to state and are definitely not all consistent with this proposed bill. It's completely unclear how this bill would impact each state's own Labor Standards laws.

I didn't say it passed, only that they had created it.
What you say about contract workers and independent contractors is correct.
But I've worked as a technical contractor for about 20 years, and companies do go
to placement agencies with their contracts, but some company bypass the placement
agencies and want to go Corp-to-Corp.
It's my opinion that this is the direction they are going.
