The Arizona senator told HuffPost he would vote for the pro-labor legislation, voicing his commitment to unions as he's considered for the Democratic ticket.
“I do have some concerns with the legislation, specifically things about who qualifies as an independent contractor. Sometimes employers often use that to their advantage. In other cases, I do think people should be able to be independent contractors.”
From the previous article that is referenced. He is not against independent contractors having bargaining rights, but he thinks there should be rules around who qualifies. I don’t necessarily agree with him but I don’t think that he should be considered anti-union for that.
One of the most contentious elements is how the law would extend collective bargaining rights to “independent contractors” who are not employees, a provision Kelly said he is concerned by.
I dont think it’s always that cut and dry. These acts have so many individual parts and shit snuck in them. While there can be a lot of good, there’s also things that can be better or are frankly down right shit. So just becuase you vote no on something doesn’t mean you don’t want it - you could want it better.
Gross, this guy was anti-union too?
He was not anti-union per the article. He had some critiques of the bill previously.
some anti-union critiques. Didnt want independent contractors to be allowed collective bargaining rights.

Besides the above, all true, the Democratic Party is not a cult. Various opinions can exist at the same time.
you’re right, it’s not a cult, and I dont have to support harmful positions just because a democrat holds them.
I don’t know how particularly harmful this one is, but you’re basically right.
