Pretend-president -Biden has pledged to use California’s law as ‘model’ for labor agenda.
The International Franchise Association and Asian American Hotel Association are preparing to challenge California Assembly Bill 5 (AB5), a 2019 bill that limits businesses’ ability to designate workers as independent contractors. The groups argue that the California regulation will hurt vulnerable populations in an economy that has already been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. Theproceedings could carry national implications, asPresident-elect Joe Biden endorsed similar measures in March.
These vulnerable populations do not just include contractors striving to hold multiple jobs at once in the “gig economy” but also enterprising business owners who set up national franchise locations, according to Robert Cresanti, president of the International Franchise Association.
“Choosing to license a brand name and invest in starting a franchise business should not mean that these entrepreneurs are treated like employees of a corporation,” Cresanti said in a Monday press conference. “In fact, they are independent risk-takers, entrepreneurs, and job creators.”
How many things are Californians allowed to do with their lives without government control?
Anon^ none. They control what we eat, where we go, who we see, what we drive, how we worship, even how we breathe (masks), how much water we can use, what guns we can have, how much ammo we can buy, need permits for everything, & even cow farts are regulated. And the pussies in this state are fine with it and it gets worse by the day.
There was a proposition on the ballot in CA that made AB5 irrelevant (Prop 22) – it won.
