Andrew Yang, a former presidential and New York City mayoral candidate, made waves in the professional wrestling world last year when he openly called out the WWE for classifying its wrestlers as independent contractors rather than employees. At the time fans were learning about WWE’s new policy that prevented wrestlers from working with third-party companies like Twitch and Cameo, and Yang promised that if he were named to President Joe Biden’s cabinet as the Secretary of Labor he would be persuing legal action against WWE’s business practices.
Had a call with the Department of Labor. If you are a current or former @WWE performer who feels you were misclassified as an independent contractor contact @lkmiddleb and let’s get you what Vince owes you. Been a long time coming but this storyline is real.
2 years ago the Department of Labor was managed by someone who was very close to Vince. Times change.
