The independent contractor minefield is getting even more treacherous

With the rise of more gig economy jobs, the implementation of AB5 in California and changes in Washington, defining independent contractors has never been more tricky and uncertain.     On this week's Drilling Deep podcast, host John Kingston speaks with Aaron Hageman, the owner of Delivery Drivers Inc., a firm that works with both independent contractor workers and the companies that employ them. Hageman discusses  California's AB5 law and its prospects for expanding its reach nationwide, as well as what changes in the Department of Labor will mean for federal regulation on the question of IC classification.   Also on the podcast, Kingston discusses the always frustrating development when wholesale diesel prices fall and retail diesel prices don't follow along.  Learn more about your ad choices.
