What is AB-5?
AB-5 is a California law that requires most independent contractors to become employees by those who hire them.
Why is AB-5 bad?
Many businesses cannot afford the added costs of up to 40% required when hiring an employee.
Thus, AB-5 is bad for business.
Many independent workers lose their freedom when they are forced to become employees even though they don’t want to.
Thus, AB-5 is bad for workers.
And many businesses and services that YOU enjoy are fighting to survive RIGHT NOW because of AB-5. They will either have to pass their added costs on to you or they will have to shut down.
Thus, AB-5 is bad for YOU.
How can YOU help?
The following politicians are responsible for AB5. Please vote AGAINST them in Nov and help us take back our right to work.
