@UbisoftSupport How the heck do I get a refund for #JustDance2024. This game is garbage. It crashes every time we try to play through a song and I have tried every troubleshooting suggestion online. I tried starting a case and your support site gave me an error, too! Ugh.

@CISAgov is creating a new office to better operationalize cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM). @ErickaChick shares the latest on what we can expect from the office. hubs.ly/Q01CCvfg0

@amycrea @MWPexplains Amy, orders of magnitudes more than that. Millions. This shill will keep yapping and mansplaining about how we solo women business owners just need to lay down and submit to have what’s best for us be inflicted upon us. But I’ll keep standing and fighting if you will, too.

There is a simple answer for misclassification of independent contractors. Please continue to withhold support for #PROAct until it can be amended to use the existing language from the IRS Test for worker classification instead of the devastating #ABCTest. #NoPROAct #NoABCforUSA
Brittany VanDerBill@6135Britt

If worker misclassification is wrong then lawmakers shouldn’t do it to anyone. The ABC Test in the #PROAct misclassifies legitimate independent contractors as employees in federal law #fightforfreelancers @kyrstensinema @captmarkkelly @senangusking @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorWarner

@Meena_Thiru It is so nice to not have to cater to someone else’s cultural or personal notions of whether time away from work is warranted. As an independent contractor I take time off based on what is important to *me*. A client doesn’t like it? We part ways and I keep working for others.

In my experience, companies treat elder care and childcare differently, putting immigrant kids in a tough spot. I once had a white woman boss who regularly went home early for her kids reprimand me for taking an afternoon to take my dad to the ER.

I make far more as an independent contractor than I would as an employee of any of my clients. As do many women of color like me. #PROAct destroys paths to success for women, people of color, as well as those with disabilities, caring for elders and more. #NoPROAct.

@ErickaChick Which is why California’s Supreme Court updated it in 2018 to cover remote, mobile & app-based gig workers. It’s the most legally sound way to extend labor rights and protections. You may not need them personally, but they will be there for you and others if you do #ABCnotIRS

@MWPexplains 😂 modern? ABC is a test written for factory workers in an era where remote work was science fiction.

@ErickaChick It hasn’t been lately, and it’s partly because the #IRStest is based on case law from the 1990s & the Revenue Act of 1978. A more modern test like California’s ABC has fewer loopholes, but we do need to be clear about when it applies: its #scope—PRO uses it for labor rights only

Senators, please don't clothe oppression in the cloaks of false righteousness. #PROAct as written will hurt the most vulnerable: single moms, people with disabilities, those caring for elders, minorities who can't catch a break in the corporate rat race. #NoABCforUSA

@MWPexplains I’m not a worker. I’m a business owner. And there should be easy ways for me to be able to define myself as such in the eyes of the law. The IRS test is the gold standard for this. I keep my biz and it is rigorous enough to protect permalancers and other non-biz owners.

#fightforfreelancers has no problem w/employees forming a union. But #PROAct ABC Test can't tell the difference between them & an independent translator or writer earning $65k. #NoPROAct #NoABCforUSA @kyrstensinema @captmarkkelly @senangusking @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorWarner
