Freelancers say N.J. independent contractor bill will still cost them work

Workers with the International Longshoremen's Association are asking for better pay and protection from automation. Here in Philadelphia, sitting produce may turn bad soon.

Three years ago lawmakers fought overnight about raising the lowest legal wage to $9.25 an hour. Now Delaware is joining nine other states with a path to $15.

The Office of Worker Protections is too cash-strapped to do its job, said city councilmembers and workers’ rights groups who are demanding more funding.
