The Direct Selling Association (DSA) released a statement saying it strongly supports the bicameral Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution introduced by Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) and Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) that would overturn the Department of Labor’s (DOL) recent worker classification rule. The DSA, who believes the rule “threatens the ability for millions of direct sellers to operate their businesses as independent contractors,” has been lobbying to ensure that the resolution introduced in both the US House and Senate would pass in each Chamber of Commerce.
In a statement, the DSA described the Independent Contractor Rule as “vague and complicated” and said it would have “a disproportionate negative impact on populations the rule seeks to protect.”
The DSA expects action in both the House and Senate by the end of May.
