This includes providing them with extensive labor protections, a minimum wage, unemployment, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this comes at a price, however. Samantha Garrison, the owner of the studio, said, \u201cI knew I needed to bring in more money\u201d and raised prices from $22 to $26 per class. Therefore, employees are not the only ones feeling the effect of the bill, as customers are paying for these new regulations too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is no isolated incident. Businesses across the state now need to upend everything from worker classification to price structure\u2014and even their entire business model\u2014to comply with Lorenza Gonzalez\u2019s new \u201cpro-union\u201d experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uber, Lyft, and several food delivery platforms have outright refused to reclassify their employees and have pledged millions of dollars to have the bill revoked or to be granted exemptions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of it all, AB 5 is an overreach by the state government to control how people can work. To live in a world where killing an unborn child is a matter of &#8220;choice&#8221; but how you want to work is not; that just doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The party of government control is slowly trying to control more and more aspects of our lives, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019m alone in wanting to control my own life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/victorpanlilio\/258793063\/in\/photolist-oSoan-dNZzUF-dNZzvt-dNZw4X-hd7pBd-oSnKK-5UUnBW-hd7ZaH-dP6cGh-dP6hnw-5N2pTf-hd8bfZ-oSnza-dP6gHq-dNZDTR-dNZvGP-dNZACp-5UUnpJ-oSnKd-dP6h4m-hd7qUb-oSo3X-dNZuYi-5UUnDm-dNZBN6-dNZzaa-oSo9G-oSnLb-dP67Jj-dP6exm-oSnB8-dNZBt8-abuqWc-oSnXG-oSnBM-dNZGSV-oSnFx-oSnD7-oSnAh-oSnWQ-q5kcrk-95gq9-NKoF7q-oSnGm-hd6CFk-hd88VD-hd6Czj-5UUnxs-oSnPE-oSnNV\">Photo by Victor Panlilio via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba\u00a0 Lorena Gonzalez is not shy about being pro-choice.
