A business advocate organization and nearly 200 other groups are calling for California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature to provide businesses with COVID-19 relief, thus preventing California businesses from fleeing to other states.

California - Not where we want to be!

In a year when many states saw a significant decrease in litigation, California plaintiffs’ lawyers continued to target businesses, while the legislature and judiciary pursued innovative new ways to expand liability. Businesses, small and large, are struggling to stay afloat, yet California’s leadership failed to ease unjust liability burdens and further stacked the deck against their survival.

“These abusive frivolous lawsuits are holding back many small businesses from growing, creating jobs and providing much needed benefits to their employees.” California Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse Executive Director Victor Gomez said.

There is no way around it — California’s Assembly Bill 5 has been a disaster for our state. The so-called “gig economy” legislation passed last year has been a short-sighted and dangerous attack on nearly 10 percent of our state’s workforce. What’s worse, businesses continue to be attack...
