Craig Harrington at MMFA:

The economic policy provisions outlined by Project 2025 — the extreme right-wing agenda for the next Republican administration — are overwhelmingly catered toward benefiting wealthier Americans and corporate interests at the expense of average workers and taxpayers. Project 2025 prioritizes redoubling Republican efforts to expand “trickle-down” tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation across the economy. The authors of the effort’s policy book, Mandate for Leadership: A Conservative Promise, recommend putting key government agencies responsible for oversight of large sectors of the economy under direct right-wing political control and empowering those agencies to prioritize right-wing agendas in dealing with everything from consumer protections to organized labor activity. [...]

Project 2025 would chill labor unions' abilities to engage in political activity. Project 2025 suggests that the National Labor Relations Board change its enforcement priorities regarding what it describes as unions using “members' resources on left-wing culture-war issues.” The authors encourage allowing employees to accuse union leadership of violating their “duty of fair representation” by having “political conflicts of interest” if the union engages in political activity that the employee disagrees with. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; National Labor Relations Board, accessed 7/8/24]

Project 2025 would make it easier for employers to classify workers as “independent contractors.” The authors recommended reinstating policies governing the classification of independent contractors that the NLRB implemented during the Trump administration. Those Trump-era NLRB regulations were amended in 2023, expanding workplace and labor organizing protections to previously exempt American workers. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The National Law Review, 6/19/23; National Labor Relations Board, 6/13/23]

Project 2025 would reduce base overtime pay for workers. The authors recommend changing overtime protections to remove nonwage compensatory and other workplace benefits from calculations of their “regular” pay rate, which forms the basis for overtime formulations. If that change is enacted, every worker currently given overtime protections could be subject to a slight reduction in the value of their overtime pay, which the authors claim will encourage employers to provide nonwage benefits but would effectively just amount to a pay cut. The authors also propose other changes to the way overtime is calculated and enforced, which could result in reduced compensation for workers. Overtime protections have long been a focus of right-wing media campaigns to reduce protections afforded to American workers. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023, Media Matters, 7/9/24]

Project 2025 proposes capping and phasing out visa programs for migrant workers. Project 2025’s authors propose capping and eventually eliminating the H-2A and H-2B temporary work visa programs, which are available for seasonal agricultural and nonagricultural workers, respectively. Even the Project 2025 authors admit that these proposals could threaten many businesses that rely on migrant workers and could result in higher prices for consumers. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]

Project 2025 recommends institutionalizing the “Judeo-Christian tradition” of the Sabbath. Under the guise of creating a “communal day of rest,” Project 2025 includes a policy proposal amending the Fair Labor Standards Act to require paying workers who currently receive overtime protections “time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath,” which it said “would default to Sunday.” Ostensibly a policy that increases wages, the proposal is specifically meant to disincentivize employers from providing services on Sundays as an explicitly religious overture. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]

International Trade

Project 2025 contains a lengthy debate between diametrically opposed perspectives on international trade and commerce.Over the course of 31 pages, disgraced former Trump adviser and current federal inmate Peter Navarro outlines various proposals to fundamentally transform American international commercial and domestic industrial policy in opposition to China, primarily by using tariffs. He dedicates well over a dozen pages to obsessing over America’s trade deficit with China, even though Trump’s trade war with China was a failure and as he focused on China, the overall U.S. trade deficit exploded. Much of the rest of Navarro’s section is economic saber-rattling against “Communist China’s economic aggression and quest for world domination.”In response, Kent Lassman of the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute promotes a return to free trade orthodoxy that was previously pursued by the Republican Party but has fallen out of favor during the Trump era.

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 agenda would be a boon for the wealthy and a disaster for the working class folk.

The End of Freelance? How California's Rules Become America's Rules

[fvckw4d]

Got fired today. Oh I'm sorry, I'm an "independent contractor" and they just "didn't NEED my services" despite the fact that I got terminated for not immediately checking in with a supervisor about what time I left the work site and they didn't replace me during their rush days. It's totally not a punishment for not kissing my Not-Manager's ass that i lost out on two 13 hour shifts that were gonna pay my rent. It's just because they didn't """"need"""" me, and when I complained that this was employer behaviour (and sounded a whole lot like retaliation) and not contractor, I was sent the COMPANY OWNERS PHONE NUMBER which isnt suspicious at all.

Anyone know what I can do about this on the workers rights website besides just file a complaint with the IRS about the company? Because this really screwed me.

Is it imposter syndrome when your foreman keeps telling you that you do good work and you assume that he keeps saying that because he says that to everyone for morale purposes?

Heat exhaustion is no joke, and a driver with heat exhaustion is a hazard to anyone in the vicinity. The inherent lack of reliable bathroom access for delivery drivers doesn't help with staying hydrated either.

The difficulty in getting large companies to respond to labor action due to shell games with subcontractors is something that ultimately has to be addressed if any modern unions are to get anywhere.

Frequently large companies are absolutely fucking over the subcontractor companies themselves too, and those subcontractor companies are often expected to be the ones getting their hands dirty and facing legal censure for eg. illegal labor practices or hiring people who aren't legal to work but also are being forced to cut corners by the larger company very intentionally.

They want air-conditioning in the vans so they don't die from heat stroke.

I haven't found anything saying the drivers want people to boycott Amazon, btw.

The entire episode brings up the obvious question: "Why"? For six years, the state has been trying to impose regulations on an industry that would undermine its fundamental model and obliterate jobs. They are telegraphing to others that if you develop a great idea this state will spend years trying to crush you. Maybe the California Supreme Court will bail you out eventually, but who has enough time, money and blood-pressure medicine to want to bother?
