THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RECENTLY DENIED REVIEW- or certiorari-of the Circuit's reversal against the injunction of AB5 (Assembly Bill 5) in California, a law governing owner-operators that potentially could be very disruptive to trucking operations in the nation's most populous state. Truck drivers are divided on AB5, which limits when workers can be contractors instead of employees. Some local port drayage operators supported the measure which would have limited owner-operators in that sector. A Reuters report noted that, in its ruling, the Supreme Court said that the California worker classification law "will be devastating for the industry and should be blocked." And it added that the court blocked a petition by the California Trucking Association (CTA), which claimed that AB5 makes it more difficult for businesses to treat workers as independent contractors rather than employees. |
