ACRI is opposing AB 508 (Swanson-D).  AB 508 would prevent bid-winning companies from retaining existing employees when providing contract services.  Such an action unfairly penalizes those employees who have a long standing relationship with a company that is awarded a public bid - placing jobs at risk.  At a time when our state is facing an unprecedented high unemployment level, AB 508 translates into additional job losses in California.
