THE GIG ECONOMY STRIKES BACK

by Bob Walsh

In the wake of legislation in the formerly great state of California to essentially outlaw the gig economy, members of that economy are striking back.

The California Trucking Association, which represents (among other groups) about 70,000 owner-operator truck drivers, has asserted that the state law violates both the Federal Motor Carriers Act and the Federal Aviation Administration Act. They assert that the new law will cause prompt and irreparable harm to their membership and want a federal restraining order against implementation pending further litigation. They may very well get it.
