Gavin Newsom’s office. “It’s a scary time for employers,” Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry & Commerce Association, told the Business Journal. “The government is essentially putting the responsibility on business, whether their employees catch it at work or not.” Read the full story in the June 8 issue of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.
