Federal Judge Denies CTA Challenge to California AB 5
Judge Says Independent Contractor Law Does Not Run Afoul of Federal Statute
A federal district court has delivered a setback to the California Trucking Association as the group continues efforts to block the state’s enforcement of a controversial law that aims to reclassify independent contractors as motor carrier employees.
On March 15, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California denied CTA’s request for a new temporary injunction that would block California from enforcing the so-called AB 5 law. The group previously had won an injunction to block it.
