We recently updated our thoughts on the NLRB’s Joint Employer rule and how it is problematic for the
Transportation Industry. The rule would have allowed the NLRB and Departments of Labor nationwide to enjoin your customers and shippers into a classification quagmire. Our opinion is that the NLRB was trying to force the hand of Final Mile companies by involving their customers.
A recent District Court decision struck down the rule and the NLRB has since relented until further notice. While this is good news for your company, be weary as there is a still a case being held in abeyance in a separate district.
Is your company ready if this decision is challenged and overturned?
Hot off the Press: The California Supreme Court has found that Proposition 22 is legal. This will allow certain App-Based drivers to be considered independent under California Law. It will also throw dozens of class action lawsuits into chaos.
While this does not help the courier and trucking industry (YET!), it is certainly a path to follow if
Trucking and Courier Groups can get their initiative on a ballot. It seems as though consumers value
convenience and price of services. (Who woulda thunk?)
If you still want to use independent couriers or truckers in California, we can help!
