House endorses adopting California AB5 provisions at federal level

Currently in CA the law is 'unenforceable' due to a US judge deeming it BS, but it's still on record at state level.

House endorses adopting California AB5 provisions at federal level

===

These are the 3 criteria for being an "independent contractor" vs an "employee". How do you get around the last two?? This is transportation. Everybody just moves stuff, it's all the same muffin job. Everybody does the same thing in trucker land, just differing hierarchies of financial responsibility and liability. It's literally the exact same job, top to bottom.

Bill Text - AB-5 Worker status: employees and independent contractors.
2750.3.
(a) (1) For purposes of the provisions of this code and the Unemployment Insurance Code, and for the wage orders of the Industrial Welfare Commission, a person providing labor or services for remuneration shall be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring entity demonstrates that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(A) The person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact.
(B) The person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.
(C) The person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.

 

they just do what corps usually do, keep creating more fictional layers of hierarchy, none of which know anything about the other. 7 layers of corporation, Layer 1 hired you, layer 2 does payroll, layer 3 does financing, layer 4 doesn't exist but that's where anyone that asks the wrong questions will get directed to, the freight is handled by layer 6. You actually work for layer 1, never seen them, never will, they have nothing to do with freight, don't care about freight, don't know what freight is.
