Truckers servicing California from Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland have begun protesting against Assembly Bill 5. Hoping to urge Newsom to delay implementation of AB-5 or exempt independent truckers entirely.
– Tuesday, Assembly Republicans sent a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom, urging him to delay implementation of AB 5 or exempt independent truckers entirely from its employee reclassification test. The Supreme Court declined to hear a case on June 30th that would have challenged the new law, now putting AB-5 on the fast-track for going into effect in California.
Matt Schrap, CEO of Harbor Trucking Association, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes on “Good Evening San Diego” to discuss the potential implementation of AB-5 AB-5 was authored by former Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, and San Diego’s current Mayor, Todd Gloria. KUSI News reached out to Mayor Gloria’s office for comment but they did not get back.fact Lorena Gonzalez flat-our deniedThe legislation prevents many Californians from working as independent contractors, even if that’s what they prefer to do because they can make more money. AB 5 forces workers to be classified as employees, which would provide them benefits employees get.
Now, the controversial legislation is going to hamper about 70,000 truckers ability to do their jobs and transport our goods. At the moment, these 70,000 trucker owner-operators must comply with Ab 5 since the Supreme Court did not hear the case., “The law comes into effect for truckers in the busiest months of the year as retailers stock up on back-to-school and holiday goods. At the same time, dockworkers and railroad workers are currently negotiating contracts with their respective employers.
Republican Assemblyman James Gallagher, among others, have been outspoken about their opposition to AB-5, and have sent a letter to Gavin Newsom asking him to either delay the application of AB-5 or exempt the trucking industry altogether.
