Uber, Lyft trade group Flex Association requested nominated DOL Secretary Julie Su to explain her stance on worker-classification rules.
A group representing gig-economy apps including Uber and Lyft has raised concerns over President Biden’s nominee to lead the Labor Department — in particular questioning her position on worker-classification rules.
The letter cited analysis that the new rules would force 1.5 million workers identified as non-traditional employees to leave the labor force, costing an estimated $31.4 billion in earnings. “Unfortunately, the DOL is considering a variety of proposals that could undercut the availability of independent jobs for millions of Americans, impacting families and communities throughout this country,” Kristin Sharp, CEO of Flex Association said in the letter.
Su, who previously served as deputy labor secretary in California before joining the Biden administration, upheld a law making companies to classify workers as contractors more complicated, allowing businesses to save millions of dollars but depriving workers of protections like minimum wage and benefits.
