HR 1319 Will Make All Non-Federal Employees Independent Contractors (Without Benefits) (youtu.be)

Basically, all non-federal employees will lose their right to healthcare benefits, their right to worker protections and their right to unionize.

This has already passed in committee. Congress (which is supposed to be in recess) has actually come back to slip this in under the radar while most people aren't looking. The House and Senate still need to vote on this.
