Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Forward United	0	No	We agree with everything in the bill except the first amendment on Gig workers. I believe Gig workers should not be ban but regulated and unfortunately this bill does this which lowers jobs in our community and that is why exactly as a workers right party that protects all workers, we cannot support a portion of the bill destroying jobs especially gigs
