      “I do have some concerns with the legislation, specifically things about who qualifies as an independent contractor. Sometimes employers often use that to their advantage. In other cases, I do think people should be able to be independent contractors.”

      From the previous article that is referenced. He is not against independent contractors having bargaining rights, but he thinks there should be rules around who qualifies. I don’t necessarily agree with him but I don’t think that he should be considered anti-union for that.

        One of the most contentious elements is how the law would extend collective bargaining rights to “independent contractors” who are not employees, a provision Kelly said he is concerned by.
