Another group is speaking out against a bill awaiting Governor J.B. Pritzker’s signature regarding freelance workers. The Freelance Workers Protection Act requires written contracts for freelance workers and several requirements on payment. Independent Writers of Chicago has penned an open letter to the governor asking him not to sign the bill, saying it adds needless rules that all independent contractors will have to obey. During debate, state Senator Steve McClure said there are two reasons this bill is bad for Illinois.
Other groups opposed to the measure include the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and several trucking organizations.
