CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
  

Wednesday, October 2, 2019
10:00 am - 11:00 am

Assembly Bill 5, which codified the Dynamex decision, has major ramifications for all California motor carriers, brokers and independent truckers. Please join the CTA for a roundtable discussion with some of the country's top transportation and employment law firms: Holland & Knight, Ogletree Deakins, and Scopelitis Garvin, Light, Hanson & Feary, LLP.

This Webinar is for CTA Members Only

As expected, Judge Benitez, the judge who is presiding over CTA’s legal challenge to the application of the Dynamex “ABC test” to motor carriers has concluded that the enactment of Assembly Bill 5 has materially altered this case. As such, that case (CTA’s original filing) has been dismissed and a new briefing schedule has been set on an amended complaint to reflect the changes in law due to Assembly Bill 5. Anticipating this development, our attorneys were already in the course of drafting an amended complaint.
