California law may backfire terribly as 70,000 independent truckers could be forced out of work, unleashing 'devastating' supply chain misery

[SugarDaddy1]

A California law threatens to unleash more supply chain misery and inflation on residents of the Golden State by forcing independent truckers out of the workforce.

AB5 called for "a person providing labor or services for remuneration shall be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor unless the hiring entity demonstrates that the person is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, the person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business, and the person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business."

The Port of Oakland is especially vulnerable if independent truckers are forced out of work.

"There's 9,000 trucks that serve the port on a daily basis, and 90% of them are independent contractors. So, this is a big, big impact," said Bill Aboudi owner of AB Trucking in Oakland.

It's already happening and being multiplied by outrageous fuel supplies for those who remain.
