Flex Association Statement on House Introduction of the Empowering App-Based Workers Act

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 11, 2025

The following statement is for attribution to Flex CEO Kristin Sharp: 

“This bill fundamentally misunderstands the technology that powers digital platforms and raises serious anti-innovation and consumer privacy concerns. At a time when Americans are concerned about an ongoing affordability crisis, Congress should not focus on legislation that creates more red tape for the millions of Americans who use app-based work for fast, flexible earning.”
