CABIA

California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) has sued the state of California to motivate the legislature to take action and stop enforcing CA labor law by litigation.  The Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) is enabling unscrupulous lawyers to sue business owners on behalf of disgruntled employees for millions of dollars over grievances as vague as "late lunch" or "appropriate seating".  Business owners are usually forced to admit fault and settle out of court because litigation would be too costly.  But these settlements only fill the pockets of lawyers and the coffers of the state - NOT the employee. It's a cash-cow for unscrupulous lawyers.  

What CABIA wants:
When businesses are found to be in violation of the labor code, non-monetary corrective remedies should be sought.  Million dollar lawsuits are punitive and oppressive and they don't fix problems - they create new ones for remaining employees lucky enough to still have jobs at these lawsuit-impoverished businesses.
