Hit Pause For California Businesses

The post-COVID economy remains challenging in California and across the nation. CAL SMACNA members — both small and large — struggle with inflation, high interest rates, reduced capital, reduced manhours and legal compliance with the sheer volume of mandates on employers passed by the California Legislature and Governor Newsom in the last six years.
At the urging of our members, CAL SMACNA worked with other CA business organizations to support The Pause Pledge campaign to send letters and emails directly to the Governor and State and Assembly representatives in opposition to new employer mandates.
By the end of the year, more than 1,000 letters were sent directly to the attention of the Governor and Legislature. “Hit the Pause Button” is now well known in the Capitol and has had a beneficial impact on sensitizing policymakers to the concerns of employers.
