TAKE ACTION

ACTION ALERT
Help Save PAGA Reform!

SB 310 (Wiener) threatens recent reforms to the Private Attorney Generals Act (PAGA) that the restaurant community, non-profits, and other employer groups worked so hard to achieve. SB 310 (Wiener) is likely to generate a flurry of frivolous lawsuits, a stark contrast to the 2024 laws designed to curb litigation abuse. Help save PAGA reform and tell your senator to vote "NO".

ICYMI: NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Learn Why SB 310 (Wiener) Would Threaten PAGA Reform & What to Do About It

Senate Bill 310 (SB 310) by author Senator Wiener (D-San Francisco) goes to the full Senate for a vote this week, and we will need you to take action to tell your Senators to vote NO.

SB 310 would undermine all of the hard work and collaboration that went into getting major reforms to the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). You know it well; it's the "sue-your-boss law" that has painted a target on the backs of small businesses for unscrupulous trial lawyers. Listen to Sara explain why SB 310 would make PAGA worse and what you can do about it.
