The California Business & Industrial Alliance (CABIA) founder, Tom Manzo, first heard of PAGA the Private Attorney General Act when his mid-sized manufacturing business was hit with a PAGA lawsuit at the end of 2016. Craven labor attorneys can cherry-pick out of over 1,000 plus pages of the California Labor Code to file lawsuits without legitimate basis, and have been successful in bankrupting mom and pop concerns across the State.
Manzo created CABIA to combat the evils of PAGA, and Manzo has been on board with the fight against AB5, the so-called gig workers law that has destroyed the livelihood of thousands of freelance, independent professionals, and self-employed in California.
