On Friday, I recently appeared on Fox 5 DC, the most watched local TV news station in the D.C. Metro area, to discuss DOL nominee David Weil, the future of work, the gig economy, why freelancing is a viable alternative for workers, and much more.
Here’s an excerpt:
David Weil, President Biden’s nominee to fill a top Labor Department post, is attracting controversy from some business groups for his support of changes to existing labor law. Weil, who supports expanding overtime protections for a wider swath of employees, also wants to extend certain provisions to so-called gig workers and freelancers. Gabriella Hoffman from Young Voices is Jim’s guest.
