When it comes to screwing working moms. Sweeney Dems are fighting a losing battle.

Just got this missive from some of Senate President Steve Sweeney’s minions:

S-4204 (sponsored by Senate President Sweeney) & A-5936 (sponsored by Assemblymen Joe Egan and Wayne DeAngelo) seeks to reform this broken system.

Really? A pre-written email? What, literacy not a big thing in Sweeneyland?

The Senate President has got himself tangled up in a fight led by a group of women writers. That should scare the bejesus out of him. And even if he’s too arrogant to admit it (them being women and all) – the Democrats he leads should know enough to get out of the way of what’s coming at them.

These woman are smart, wickedly articulate, and they are already making the Senate President a national laughing-stock. One of them (she works as a free-lance investigative reporter for the Washington Post) has already landed him in that newspaper-of-record’s pages. Get a load of these excerpts from the Washington Post, earlier this week…

In 2003, I walked away from my full-time, $80,000-a-year job as the executive editor of a national magazine. I had no other job lined up; I just had a hunch, having worked in the publishing business for about a decade, that I could have a better work-life balance and make a lot more money if I put out a shingle as a freelance writer and editor.

As it turns out, I was right. Today, I work fewer hours, I work only the hours I want, and I make six figures. I’m happier, I get to pick my projects, and I get to choose which editors I want in my life. I am 47 years old with a career that is successful in pretty much every way.

But that career will no longer exist if my home state of New Jersey and other states like it continue on their current path with independent contractor legislation, putting freelance journalists like me out of business…

The laws are being marketed as pro-worker, but the way they are being written is so strict that they are already starting to destroy the careers of people such as me who prefer to work for ourselves.

…The language in these independent contractor laws, though, makes no meaningful distinction between exploited contract workers and people like me. Instead, the language makes it impossible for people like me to work within the letter of the law.

New Jersey’s S4204, for instance, says I have to do all my work “outside all of the places of business of the employer.” That means I can’t spend even one or two days of an 18-month, front-page project outside my home office, having meetings with my editors in a place like The Washington Post’s newsroom. How is any freelancer, no matter whether she is a journalist or a graphic artist or a public-relations specialist, supposed to run her business if she never takes meetings on any client’s premises? The upshot of clauses like that one in S4204 could be crippling fines for employers. And because of that threat, according to testimony given during a standing-room-only hearing in New Jersey’s capitol last week, editors and publishers in New Jersey are already saying the same thing the ones in California are starting to say to freelancers there: Thanks, you’re great, but we’ll find our writers and proofreaders elsewhere.

These states, in writing such overly broad legislation, are hanging a giant, toxic, neon sign around the necks of the middle class…

…everyone from truck drivers to caterers to yoga instructors has their livelihood in the crosshairs. The people testifying in New Jersey that their careers would be hit have ranged from lawyers to wedding photographers to bakers. Newspaper representatives tried to explain that people who deliver those papers are independent contractors, and if this legislation becomes law, citizens will no longer get their local news delivered to their homes. The lawmakers seemed genuinely stunned about how many jobs operate under the independent contractor model in modern-day America. They really seemed to have no clue.

… The lawmakers writing this legislation have no idea who the millions of us choosing to be independent contractors are, or how our industries operate, or why we want to remain our own bosses. Here in New Jersey, the power behind this legislation is state Senate President Steve Sweeney, a 60-year-old high school graduate with no higher education on his résumé, and whose day job is serving as vice president of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. His worldview matches that of the senators we came up against in the hearing room; they seem to truly believe we’re all just confused about our ability to protect our own best interests.

A bunch of clueless, stupid good-old-boy politicians vs. a lot of very smart women. You knuckleheads sure picked yourselves a good fight. Good luck with that boys.

Imagine what would happen to Sweeney’s caucus if these women split into groups and decided to assign three or four or more to each incumbent Sweeneyite. Imagine boys… each of you with your own investigative reporter – or maybe two or three of them – ripping through your stuff and writing about it… endlessly. Heck, maybe the GOP might even take the notion to help them disseminate it… or maybe Sue Altman and Jay Lassiter will.

Politically, most of these women are what you would call attitudinal liberals. Few are Trump supporters. But they could become Jersey Republicans for the simple reason that Jersey Democrats – led by Senate President Sweeney – have pronounced a death sentence on their livelihoods and are preparing to pull the trigger. Nothing so concentrates the mind as having your life destroyed. It becomes crystal clear who your enemies are… and your friends become whoever hates your enemies.

Looks like Sweeney came to a spelling bee armed with a truncheon. No, threats and intimidation aren’t going to work this time. You can’t do a “Sue Altman” on these gals and expect to win.
