senate 07/28/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that app-based workers get clear information about how digital platforms manage their work and pay, promote fair wages by capping excessive fees, and hold these platforms accountable for transparency in their use of automated tools and monitoring systems. Our goal is to protect workers from unfair treatment, wage theft, and discrimination while empowering them with knowledge about the technology that affects their jobs.

Another layer of red tape strangling innovation—algorithms don’t need babysitters, the market does the pricing just fine.
