California Executive Director, National Federation of Independent Business
For me, Labor Day is about celebrating and
acknowledging those whose hard work fuels our economy and provides essential
goods and services for all of us. As we
celebrate Labor Day this weekend, I’m reminded of some of the hardest working
laborers I know, the small businesses owners, independent contractors and other
job creators throughout California. These dedicated workers serve as the economic
engine for our state.
Our country became great because of the blood,
sweat and tears of some of America’s finest workers. Today, their entrepreneurial spirit continues
through the hard work of thousands of small business owners and independent
contractors throughout our country. That
is why it is particularly troublesome that some in federal and state government
have this sector of the workforce in their cross hairs.
