The order bolsters the trucking industry push to carve out an exemption for the law, which seeks to force companies to classify certain contract workers as employees. It follows a state court decision last week that said the law is pre-empted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act, or FAAAA, which largely bars states from regulating interstate motor carriers.
“With AB5, California runs off the road and into the preemption ditch of the FAAAA,” Judge Roger T. Benitez in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California wrote in a ruling Thursday on a lawsuit filed by the California Trucking Association and truckers Ravinder Singh and Thomas Odom.
The plaintiffs met the burden for an injunction by showing the likelihood of success on the merits, the judge wrote, and the likelihood of irreparable harm. The judge wrote that unless companies changed “their business operations to treat independent-contractor drivers as employees for all specified purposes under California laws and regulations,” they risk government enforcement actions and criminal and civil penalties.
The ruling is “a significant win for California’s more than 70,000 independent owner-operators,” Shawn Yadon, chief executive officer for the California Trucking Association, said in a statement.
Commifornia?
What about everyone else?
They’ve become day laborers with a truck.
California is one of the last places left in America not given over to cancerous slavery to the business agenda. Capitalism is dead and what we have is Kleptocracy in a downward spiral, an ideology that knows only to take and afflict and can see no other calculus
“Steamsters”?
good judge
