California AB-5, a law that could end freelance contracting -- from writers, to rock bands, to computer coders, to Santa Clause actors -- is soon coming to our nation's capitol. Will Progressive concern for the little guy kill the little guy's income? Frontline workers say it's worse than anyone believes.

• expands unfair labor practices to include prohibitions against replacement of or discrimination against workers who participate in strikes,
• makes it an unfair labor practice to require or coerce employees to attend employer meetings designed to discourage union membership,
• permits workers to participate in collective or class action litigation,
• allows injunctions against employers engaging in unfair labor practices involving discharge or serious economic harm to an employee,
• expands penalties for labor law violations, including interference with the National Labor Relations Board or causing serious economic harm to an employee, and
• allows any person to bring a civil action for harm caused by labor law violations or unfair labor practices.
