Independent truckers have shut down the Port of Oakland for the third day, protesting against a new labor law that would make them employees.
A federal appeals court ruled last year that law applies to some 70,000 truck drivers who can be classified as employees of companies that hire them instead of independent contractors.
The legal battle stalled enforcement of the law but last month the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided it wouldn’t review the decision.Meanwhile, there’s been no word on when the state might begin enforcing the law, which is still being contested in lower courts.
