What is the bill they are talking about and what does it actually do?
As far as I know, this is simply a lie.
The government does nothing to prevent a company from offering paid time off and health insurance to independent contractors. Any and all of that could just be written into the contract.
It's probably that they would be paying it without the tax benefits they do for actual employees. So they never bother. In their mind, not getting a tax benefit is the same as banning it. They believe this because they are stupid.
You are correct.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
