Secretary Walsh evidently thinks he knows better than you what arrangement is right for your life and your circumstances.

With the rise of the digital gig economy, millions of Americans have found flexible and lucrative work through independent contractor arrangements with companies like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash. They weighed the pros and cons of traditional employment opportunities, which often come with more benefits such as healthcare but rigid schedules, and instead opted for the flexibility that gig work brings.

But some regulators and politicians have taken aim at these mutually beneficial arrangements, dubbing them “exploitative” and trying to eliminate them using the law. Based on his latest comments, President Biden’s Labor Secretary, Marty Walsh, may be among their number.

“We are looking at it but in a lot of cases gig workers should be classified as employees ... in some cases they are treated respectfully and in some cases they are not and I think it has to be consistent across the board,” Walsh just told Reuters in an interview.
