The reason that Biden is doing this is to give his Big Labor supporters a boon. He has not been able to shepherd through his major pro-union legislation – the PRO Act – so he’s tackling smaller pieces of it through executive action.

Biden promised to be the “most pro-union president you’ve ever seen,” so he needs to reward all those campaign donations.

And Biden’s doing it regardless of the impact on the economy.

Independent contractors cannot be unionized, so the more companies lean on these workers, the less ability unions have to organize.

It’s really that simple.

More people suffer to enrich a few.

Who is suffering as a result of this exactly? Must be the employers taking advantage of employees by categorizing them as contractors when they are actually functioning as employees and should legally have the benefits of being an employee over a contractor.

Bidenomics is doing well! Unionization helps the workers. Employers - not contractors - need to pay their workers proper wages and benefits. Too many try to get out of their responsibilities by pretending their employees are independent contractors.

I can't tell from your post. What is the flop you are speaking about?
