Good day all. It’s been a wild week or so and there have been a few items that have been studiously ignored my the Democratic CommuNazi party’s propaganda arm. One of the items they have been ignoring is the new law in Kalifornistan, AB 5.
This is the law that basically ends the use of contract workers in the state. It’s already cost thousands of people their jobs, and the moonbats in the state legislature flat out don’t care and have stated as much. Now the Democratic CommuNazis want to extend this nationwide. Here are some of the details from the California Globe:
Because California’s AB 5 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez hasn’t done enough damage already to independent contractors and freelance workers in hundreds of different industries, Congressional Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are championing their own national version: The Protecting the Right to Organize Act or PROAct, on behalf of the AFL-CIO.
Following the State of the Union, Pelosi announced Wednesday on Twitter: “The most important table in America is the kitchen table. Tomorrow, we will pass the #PROAct to protect Americans’ rights to join a union and raise the purchasing power of families across America. #ForThePeople.”
Funny, I don’t know of any laws passed or bills being proposed that outlaw unions. Of course, unions today are having a great deal of difficulty in getting into non-union shops are getting workers to vote to represent them. In fact, in states that pass right to work laws, people who have been forced to join unions, or pay extortion agency fees to unions, have seen people run, not walk to the nearest exits.
This has hit union finances hard, with a few basically going out of business. The only people who were still members were the people who were employed by the unions in the first place. This has also hit the Democratic CommuNazis hard as well. Their pool of money and slaves is drying up.
Assembly Bill 5 by former labor leader Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), has already significantly limited Californians’ ability to work as independent contractors and freelancers. It was revealed during Senate debate in September that the AFL-CIO wrote AB 5.
Assemblywoman Gonzalez said in December, “These were never good jobs,” referring to freelance journalists, as justification for AB 5.
This bought and paid for union thug single handily threw thousands of very well paid contractors out of work, especially in Hollywood. Pretty much everyone there is a contractor, from the writers, camera operators and other back end people up to and including the actors. It doesn’t make sense for studios to keep people on a full time employees when there may not be any work in the pipeline.
It also ties the hands of the contractors who are actually making some fairly good money. Now all those contract writers are out of work and unable to find a job. The same is happening with many of the back office people. It isn’t stopping the studios and others from hiring contractors as needed though. They just aren’t doing it in Kalifornistan. This is what San Fran Nan and the other Democratic CommuNazis intend to put a stop to.
California freelance journalists are losing jobs en masse because AB 5 also randomly limits freelance writers and photographers to 35 submissions annually per media outlet. Members of the entertainment industry are seeing jobs cancelled in droves. And even ADA protected industries such as court reporters, captioners, and sign language interpreters, a majority of whom prefer the independence and flexibility of deciding when and where to work, are seeing their ability to work as independent contractors and freelancers in jeopardy, as California Globe reported.
The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, broadly codified the newest definition of an employee, established in 2018 in the California Supreme Court’s decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles, which dealt a blow to independent contractors. The Court ruled that the Dynamex delivery drivers were employees, rejecting its own prior test for determining whether workers should be classified as either employees or independent contractors,” Forbes reported.
And the fallout of this joke of a decision is to cause both confusion and job loss. But the Democratic CommuNazis, who were told this would happen, ignored the people they claim to support and listened to their paymasters in the Unions instead. What’s worse is that the decision overturned the court’s own precedent.
According to many legal analysts, what the Court did was legislate from the bench by adopting a new rule for the narrow purpose of interpreting California’s Industrial Welfare Commission’s wage orders.
Why this surprises anyone is a mystery to me. The progressives on the bench love to rule by decree, knowing that they will never suffer any consequences for their decisions. Now this moronic idea is spreading.
New York Democrats are trying to adopt their own version as well.
As California Globe reported recently, there are 56.7 million freelance workers currently enjoying life as independent contractors in America.
I’ve worked as a contractor and honestly, I don’t like it. However I know may others who prefer to be contractors. The reason is simple. They make a ton more money then full time employees, and generally come out ahead even after taxes and insurance. Others do contracting work part time to make some extra money. All these jobs will go away, causing major hikes in unemployment. Of course, this is what the Democratic CommuNazis want. People dependent on them to actually stay alive.
Of course, now that the effects are being seen, the Kalifornistan Supreme Soviet is trying to “Fix things” again. Besides most of the writers in Hollywood losing their livelihoods, there is a problem regarding long haul truckers. Many of them won’t go into Kalifornstan now.
A new bill has been proposed to exempt freelance journalists from the independent contractor redefining AB 5 law in the California Senate. Senate Bill 868, authored by Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel), would also end the post AB 5 rule of limiting freelance journalists to 35 articles a year per publication.
How about just a flat out repeal? Well, we know that the Democratic CommuNazi Party never admits to making mistakes, and they’ve basically rigged any elections to insure single party rule in the state, (Theirs), so that won’t happen without a referendum. Meanwhile, people who are now out of work thanks to this stupidity, are fighting back.
A federal lawsuit by two drivers and Uber and Postmates seeks declaratory, injunctive, and other relief to determine that AB 5 is unconstitutional. Their lawsuit claims AB 5 violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and the Contracts Clause of Article I of the United States Constitution, as well as the Equal Protection Clause, Inalienable Rights Clause, Due Process Clause, Baby Ninth Amendment, and Contracts Clause of the California Constitution.
Meanwhile, we have the lunkheads in the House of Representatives, fresh off their failed coup attempt, ramping up their stupidity.
The PRO Act, H.R. 2474, would preempt state labor laws, overrule three Supreme Court decisions, and transform the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) into a punitive one. The PRO Act would:
1. Require workers to pay dues to a union.
2. Change the definition of joint employment in order to ease union organizing;
3. Amend the definition of employee to increase the pool of employees eligible for unionization;
4. Impose government-mandated arbitration to dictate employment terms in first negotiations
5. Promote card-check organizing, a process that forces union representation on workers without a secret-ballot election.
Thankfully, this will never survive in the Senate, and President Trump will veto it if it should ever make it to his desk. What it shows, is that the Democratic CommuNazis are fully on board with repealing the 13th Amendment of the Constitution and returning slavery to the United States of America. The Democratic CommuNazi Party, (Formally the Democrat Party), is wholly owned by the Unions. They are run by crooks who are constantly being convicted of embezzling Union funds. This is why private sector unions have all but collapsed. People working today are far better educated and know that unions do not help them, they, in fact hurt them.
They only way to stop this tyranny is to remove every single Progressive Liberal Democratic CommuNazi from office in November. The world’s oldest political party has become utterly and completely corrupt and needs to be ended. Remember in November.
