Newsom agrees to meet AB5 sets tougher standards for classifying workers as independent contractors Protesters fear the law will impose hefty costs that will slash their earnings Its all be design. This is big money pushing this protest. In NO WAY can a truck driver, who owns his own vehicle, buys his own insurance, chooses his own freight, be considered an "employee." That is impossible. They're literally out there arguing a completely false thing. The court ruling that there were truckers out there that could be considered employees was due to the controlling aspect of the company "hiring" them. Example - if a company dictates everything about you, yet you're paying for everything yourself, they are screwing you over. If you can't decline freight and have no choice about where you're going or negotiate your own rates with them, then you are being exploited and used as an employee that covers costs the company should be paying (if they want to control the driver). Good lord these people are protesting against what's in their own best interest. If they go out, secure a loan for a semi, get their own DOT #, their own insurance, etc., they cannot be considered an employee. My goodness they aren't very intelligent people. |
