CtW Executive Director Greg Tarpinian calls out the corporate scam of "misclassification" -- and challenges Congress to stop it -- today on The Hill's Congress Blog:
Workers who are misclassified are cheated out of their basic rights to minimum wage and overtime pay, as well as unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation. Misclassification allows low-road employers to undercut and underbid responsible employers. And every year, all levels of government are cheated out of billions of dollars in revenue, which means law-abiding employers and taxpayers end up paying more than their fair share.

P.S.: We announced today that after two years leading Change to Win and the movement to restore the American Dream, Greg will be stepping down as Executive Director of Change to Win on July 6. His leadership has been instrumental in helping Change to Win evolve from an idea into a force that is reshaping the American labor movement. All of us at CtW are thankful for his commitment and vision, and we'll do our best to continue to live up to the high standard he has set for us!
