A Tennessee free-market nonprofit group, the Beacon Center of Tennessee, has filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new labor rule implemented by the Biden administration. The rule alters the criteria for classifying workers as independent contractors or employees, raising concerns among freelancers like Margaret Littman and Jennifer Chesak.
The lawsuit, filed in Nashville, argues that the new rule could potentially force freelancers into undesirable employment arrangements or prevent them from working altogether. This legal challenge is part of a broader pushback against the rule, with other organizations and business coalitions also contesting its implications.
