What about AB5?
Thousands of people in the 35th depend on work as Independent Contractors to feed their families and pay the bills. Norma recognizes this face…and yet does nothing to help them! Along with the Nation’s highest taxes, the biggest job killer in California is AB5. Created by our Democrat super-majority, it destroys the entrepreneurial spirit of California by killing “gig” work for Uber and Lyft drivers as well as a whole host of other jobs performed by independent contractors. People used to come here to realize their dreams. No longer. Businesses are leaving at a record rate. Norma and her party are directly responsible for destroying our State’s economy.
A clear example…
As a cost saving measure, many, many businesses choose to employ Arbitration clauses in their agreements. This allows for the parties to settle a dispute, either among themselves or with a neutral arbiter, potentially saving themselves thousands of dollars in attorney fees. In this video, Norma supports H.R.1423 which prohibits a pre-dispute arbitration agreement from being valid or enforceable if it requires arbitration of an employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights dispute. This bill hurts businesses and rewards attorneys…and she has no clue as to its actual impact on the world the rest of us live in.
