AB 5 Decision May be Soon

NTA • June 21, 2022

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to consider the California Trucking Association’s challenge of California’s AB5 contractor law at the court’s conference scheduled for Thursday June 23.

A decision on whether to hear or deny review of the case could be announced as early as Monday June 27 according to our friends at the transportation law firm of Scopelitis, Garvin, Light, Hanson Feary P.C.

The CTA has steadfastly maintained that the California law imposes a too-restrictive so-called ABC test for determining worker status as an independent contractor or employee, claiming the state-legislation essentially makes ALL divers employees and must be pre-empted by federal law.

Stay tuned to this website for all the details because this decision could affect your business model.
