What your membership funds and protects
When you join P.O.W.E.R., your membership directly powers enforcement actions, legal campaigns, legislative advocacy, and worker protection programs across California.
Fraud exposure and investigations
Your dues fund active investigations into piggybacking schemes, shell companies, workers' comp evasion, and wage theft operations targeting California workers.
Legal and regulatory guidance
Access a members-only regulatory helpdesk covering DIR, CDI, WCIRB, EDD, and WCAB rules — practical answers without the billable-hour clock.
P.O.W.E.R. Compliance Seal
Corporate members receive the P.O.W.E.R. Ethical Staffing Partner Seal — a verified signal of compliance for proposals, websites, and client materials.
Intelligence and fraud alerts
Receive members-only briefings on active fraud schemes, enforcement actions, piggybacking operations, and named bad actors — before they become public news.
Association advocacy and influence
Add your organization's weight to legislative campaigns, public comment filings, and enforcement referrals shaping California labor and insurance policy.
Compliance resources and templates
Practical tools for ethical employers: WC verification procedures, staffing contract clauses, fraud-prevention checklists, and anti-retaliation policy templates.
The fraud is not hidden. It is systematic, it is well-funded, and it has operated without accountability for too long. That ends when ethical businesses, workers, and advocates stand together.
Who belongs in P.O.W.E.R.
P.O.W.E.R. brings together everyone with a stake in honest labor markets — from frontline workers to executive leadership.
Workers and advocates
Individuals who have experienced wage theft, benefit denial, or unsafe conditions — and those who support them.
Ethical staffing agencies
Agencies committed to full compliance who are tired of being undercut by competitors who break every rule.
Employers and vendors
Client companies and staffing-industry vendors who want verified partners and a level playing field.
Insurers and legal professionals
Risk managers, TPAs, attorneys, investigators, and compliance professionals driving accountability from every angle.
Government agencies, law enforcement, and press may participate as non-dues, non-voting collaborators.
Every day without accountability is another day the fraud continues.
Fraudulent operators dissolve under one name and reopen under another. Injured workers are left without coverage. Honest businesses lose clients to cheaters. The only force that changes this is organized, funded, coordinated action.
The free ride for criminal
operators is over.
Join the growing Association of workers, ethical businesses, advocates, and legal professionals committed to holding fraudulent operators accountable — and building the California labor market that every honest employer and worker deserves.
