Rosemary Becchi, President and Founder of NJPI, co-authored an op-ed in The Daily Caller with Patrice Onwuka, Director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at Independent Women. The piece, titled “Don’t California-ize the New Jersey Independent Workforce,” warns against proposed state regulations that could undermine the flexibility and independence of New Jersey’s freelance and gig economy workers. Drawing parallels to California’s Assembly Bill 5, the authors argue that such policies could harm small businesses and limit career opportunities for many New Jerseyans. They emphasize the importance of preserving the choice for workers to remain independent contractors, a preference shared by a significant majority of the workforce.
