AB5…A DOGGED LAW

The California Trucking Association (CTA) was successful in getting a temporary restraining order (TRO) against AB5, the California law that, in essence, banned the use of independent contractors in most industries in the state effective January 1,2020.

We are hopefully optimistic the same will hold true when we have our day in court later this month.
