After Mike Johnson dismissed Congress for the summer break - they snuck back in to vote yes on advancing H.R.1319 out of committee and onto the house for a vote when Congress returns.
I can’t stress enough how dangerous this bill is and I urge everyone to call their representatives to stop this from passing.
WARNING: H.R. 1319 Could Gut Worker Protections
If passed, H.R. 1319 would make it easier for big companies to label full-time workers as "independent contractors" — stripping them of:
❌ Health insurance
❌ Overtime pay
❌ Paid leave
❌ Unemployment protections
❌ The right to unionize
This bill redefines who counts as an employee under federal law — and it’s written to favor corporations, not workers.
🛑 Companies could reclassify workers and legally deny benefits, even if you work full-time hours under strict supervision.
