A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a new California labor law from affecting more than 70,000 independent truckers.
The law makes it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees, who are entitled to minimum wage and benefits such as workers’ compensation.U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego granted a temporary restraining orderHe said the association will probably eventually prevail on its argument that the state law violates federal law.
The trucking association’s lawsuit filed in November said many truckers would have to abandon $150,000 investments in clean trucks and the right to set their own schedules in order for companies to comply with a law the group says illegally infringes on interstate commerce. Freelance writers and photographers on Tuesday sought quick relief from the new law, which they say could put some independent journalists out of business.
