CWR Responds to Inaccurate Portrayal of Independent Contractor Misclassification

On September 6, 2018, the Sacramento Bee published a misleading post about the misclassification of employees as independent contractors.  In the article, the Sacramento Bee quotes an owner of a local Barbershop about the impact the California Supreme Court’s decision in Dynamex had on his business and on his employees’ decisions to quit.

 

As a result, the Center for Workers’ Rights has edited the Sacramento Bee article in order to convey an more accurate understanding of how misclassification occurs in California.
