Our Organization
The California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) is a trade organization founded in 2017 by business executives and entrepreneurs to fix California’s worst law: the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
CABIA is led by a team of experienced California business owners and communicators committed to creating a regulatory climate that fosters the creation of new businesses and helps existing ones prosper.
Our Strategy
Transparency
CABIA is calling out unscrupulous trial attorneys, paid politicians, and their allies that want to maintain the status quo in California. Our lawsuit tracker is the only one of its kind that provides public data on the amount of PAGA suits law firms file each year. We have shined a light on anti-business judges and exposed some of the “rogue” regulators of California.
Targeted Advertising
CABIA strategically advertises throughout California in an effort to pull back the curtain on self-interested trial lawyers and misguided politicians in Sacramento. Our advertising campaigns have been featured in newspapers and billboards across the state and have resulted in extensive radio and local and national TV coverage.
Storytelling
Complaining in bars and boardrooms about bad business conditions will not cut it. Instead, we’re telling the story of what small to medium sized business owners deal with daily when it comes to California’s anti-business environment through hundreds of news interviews, opinion editorials, video testimonials, and social media posts. Legislators and the public need to understand that over regulation is bad for small businesses, and it’s bad for working people.
Business Resources
Advocacy is an important part of CABIA’s mission, but it takes time. We know our members need help today. CABIA has created programs that can assist with wage and hour audits, workplace policies, arbitration agreements, training videos, and so much more.
