CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
 Does your company utilize independent contractors? If yes, you may now be retroactively liable for wage and hour violations as a result of the Dynamex Decision and misclassification claims can cost your company up to $300,000 to $400,000 per driver. With approval from CTA’s Executive Committee, CTA filed a lawsuit in October 2018 seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from the Dynamex Decision. Ogletree Deakins, a top rated labor and employment law firm, will be representing us. We have strong legal team and are confident about our litigation strategy, but the litigation will be costly and we won’t be able to see the litigation through without your financial support.
