The Department of Labor has a codified federal definition of an employee, mainly to protect the IRS and the government from tax evasion and put 99% of workers on payroll deduction. The Dynamex decision was based on that definition. Trump’s officials could enforce that definition tomorrow if it wanted. Don’t feel too bad, even Democrats such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton (yes, it goes back that far) didn’t put much into enforcing the legal employee definition.

Trump won’t need to enforce it because labor laws are a state level issue, not a federal one.

No, but they can do the right thing and change their payment system to make them employees like federal law already requires. California just decided to enforce it in the state themselves. The test that California uses is legally applicable nationwide — Trump just won’t enforce it.

The title of the story makes it seem like Streamate is doing something sneaky. Its not their fault the state of California passed that law.
