AB 1727 Hurts California Consumers, Workers and Employers
California employers lead the way in so many important technologies and industries. The jobs we create fuel our economy and improve lives. However, many of California’s thriving industries are now in the crosshairs of a legislative proposal that would make it harder for them to work with independent contractors.
Authored by Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez, AB 1727 would allow any group with as few as 10 independent contractors to act in concert to set the prices and terms of their engagement. This would put a chokehold on small businesses who will be forced to navigate potentially dozens — or even hundreds — of separate bargaining units. Not only would the end result make life difficult for our job creators, but it would make the cost of goods and services rise dramatically for consumers.
