An injunction that stopped the California trucking industry from coming under AB5, the state s law governing the use of independent contractors, has been overturned.
A three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in a 2-1 vote, handed down its decision Wednesday after hearing oral arguments back in early September.
In his dissent, Judge Mark Bennett summed up the impact of the appellate court s decision in language that the California trucking sector has been dreading for many months in the case originally brought by the California Trucking Association. California will now be free to enforce its preempted law, Bennett said. CTA s members will now suffer irreparable injury. And the damage to the policies mandated by Congress will likely be profound.
(CN) Upholding California’s historic labor law Assembly Bill 5 on Wednesday, a Ninth Circuit panel found the law is not preempted by federal laws governing the trucking industry and ordered carriers previously offered a reprieve by a federal judge to begin complying with the law.
Reversing the district court’s preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of California’s labor classification law for employees and independent contractors, U.S. Circuit Judge Sandra S. Ikuta a George W. Bush appointee writing on behalf of herself and U.S. District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock, a Ronald Reagan appointee sitting by designation from the District of Massachusetts found AB 5 is not preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act.
