Legislative DayOur signature event is an annual Legislative Day held at or near the Capitol. This event typically features a highlight reel of talent, including Legislators, representatives from the Governor’s Office, the Commissioner of Labor, labor and employment attorneys that specialize in the staffing industry, OSHA specialists, insurance brokers, and workers’ compensation judges and/or attorneys. Many of our members report that Legislative Day is the primarily reason they joined GSA. |
We also form relationships with elected officials who have the ability to influence our industry. In that regard, GSA is also actively exploring partnerships with a reputable lobbying firm so that we can better serve as an advocate for our members and the industry at the State House, with the Governor, and the Commission of Labor. Many staffing companies that have operations in other states have experienced the threat to the bottom line and the increased legal exposure associated with laws that do not take the unique staffing industry model into account, or even worse, target the industry in a negative manner. We are committed to ensuring Georgia remains business-friendly and that our members do not experience the extreme challenges imposed on our industry in other jurisdictions. This goal requires a continuous and consistent effort on our behalf to serve as a watchdog for the industry and to build relationships with our elected officials. |
