Because the 118th Congress convenes in Washington, I urge Louisiana legislators, Majority Chief Steve Scalise and U.S. Sens. John Neely Kennedy and Invoice Cassidy to help app-based earners and insurance policies that assist preserve my flexibility, freedom and skill to help my household.
Because the mom of two children, unbiased work with Grubhub has been a recreation changer for my household. Looking for a job that works round my children’ faculty schedule is inconceivable, particularly with out the built-in help of extra household. It actually does take a village, and Grubhub has been my village the place I lack one.
It sounds easy, however even having the ability to work the hours wanted to make ends meet and nonetheless have the ability to drop and decide up my children on time, with out having to fret about how they’ll get to high school and again, has been a life saver. I don’t have to decide on between being a hands-on mother and supporting us financially. I can do each.
So, I’m understandably involved by the Division of Labor’s latest proposed rule that calls into query my capacity to work when, the place and the way I would like as a mom. I’m not the one unbiased contractor involved: Over 50,000 individuals submitted feedback concerning the proposed rule that closed in December.
I urge policymakers to protect the work mannequin that so many unbiased earners depend on each single day.
