Owner-operators are facing extinction because of the recent California Supreme Court decision known as Dynamex. CTA has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Southern District Court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the Dynamex Decision. A copy of the legal compliant can be found here.
We will not be able to defeat the Dynamex Decision without your help.
If your company utilizes owner-operators or subhaulers, you may now be retroactively liable for wage and hour violations. Misclassification claims can cost your company up to $300,000 to $400,000 per driver. We are asking fleets to contribute $1,000 per driver or $25,000 per company, which is a fraction of the potential liability created by Dynamex. If you want to contribute another amount let us know. You can also pledge your contribution in quarterly amounts. Major contributors will have an opportunity to be involved in management and oversight of the litigation.
Contributions can be made out to the “California Trucking Association”

(Please include “General Litigation Fund or Dynamex” in the memo or email so the funds are properly accounted for.).
