Misclassification of Independent Contractors Called Unfair, Costly
By Bill Leonard
Workers who are incorrectly classified by employers as independent contractors are costing federal, state and local government billions of dollars in tax revenue each year. At the same time, the misclassifications deprive U.S. workers of benefits such as unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation and fair wages, according to testimony during a May 8, 2007, joint hearing of the House Ways and Means subcommittees on Select Revenue Measures and Income Security and Family Support in Washington, D.C.
House unveils bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform legislation
- Tue | 03 Apr 2007
House unveils bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform legislation. On March 22, 2007, Congressmen Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) unveiled new legislation designed to overhaul the United States’ current immigration system. Called the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy Act of 2007 Act (STRIVE Act), the bill addresses border security, a temporary guestworker program and creates a pathway to legalizing illegal immigrants. Similar legislation failed last year as conservative House Republicans refused to endorse legislation that would enable some 11 million illegal aliens to become US citizens. The new legislation is likely to face comparable opposition. Gutierrez and Flake’s bill (H.R. 1645) is the first major immigration legislation to be introduced in the current session of Congress.
