(The Center Square) – New Jersey may soon follow California’s lead in a reinterpretation of its ABC test that would force as many as 1.7 million independent contractors to lose their self-employed status while increasing the amount of workers that can be “unionized.”

Director of Independent Women’s Center for Economic Opportunity Patrice Onwuka told The Center Square that “New Jersey is proposing to alter its employment test that determines whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.”
