CTA Files F4A Lawsuit Against Labor Commissioner
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
In late July, the CTA filed a complaint in relation to the California Labor Commissioner’s application of the common law employment test under Borello. In our complaint, we seek the following:
- A declaration that the Labor Commissioner’s application of the common law employment test impermissibly disrupts motor carrier services in violation of the Supremacy Clause.
- Preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.
This lawsuit follows on the heels of several years of work trying to resolve these issues with the Labor Commissioner’s office. However, recent analysis of public records has revealed over 300 wage claims issued since 2013 without a single finding of proper worker classification. Because of these unprecedented, one-sided findings, the CTA has initiated this litigation with the aid of our counsel in this matter, Scopelitis LLP and we will pursue this to the highest court necessary. CTA will provide updates to the membership as the lawsuit moves through the process.
