WWE News: Senator that defeated Linda McMahon says he is working on "worker misclassification"

Newstimes.com is reporting that Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is supporting legislation in Washington that cracks down on "worker misclassification," the practice of classifying employees as contractors or part-time in order to prevent paying wages, benefits and taxes. The subject was a contentious point during the campaign between Blumenthal and former WWE CEO Linda McMahon when it was revealed that WWE was under investigation by Connecticut for possible violations.

Shore's Slant: Whatever your feelings about how WWE should classify their workers, I can assure you that a new law isn’t the best answer. With the way laws are written now, the law will probably end up costing thousands of part-time employees their jobs because businesses won't be able to afford the new requirements.
