The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other major business groups have asked a Texas federal judge to permanently block a Biden administration rule that would make it more difficult for companies to treat certain workers as independent contractors rather than their employees.

The groups late Wednesday asked U.S. District Judge Marcia Crone in Beaumont, Texas to rule in their favor in their March lawsuit, arguing the U.S. Department of Labor failed to adequately explain why it was abandoning a Trump-era regulation that drew clearer lines for determining how to classify workers under federal wage laws.
