Issues have to be common to all entrepreneurs and occupations, not industry-specific

NFIB is sometimes asked why it doesn’t join a specific industry in supporting a bill or ballot measure that a particular industry wants passed or defeated. NFIB members come from many, many occupations, not just one or a few. To maintain our integrity with lawmakers who know us to be the true voice of small business, we are happy to join with other industries on issues that are common to all industries and occupations (taxes, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, etc.). That way, when legislators see NFIB as part of a coalition, it tells them that the issue under consideration impacts all businesses. And when they don’t see our name, the bill in question affects just one or a small handful of businesses.
