TIA has received feedback from multiple members recently about the state of New York cracking down on workers’ compensation rights for owner-operators, which is part of a larger effort by multiple states to crackdown on employee misclassification. Since New York has been the topic of interest for our Members recently, and a focal point of the state to crackdown on misclassification, this article will focus on that state’s workers classification laws and how they apply to 3PLs.
The 2nd session of the 116th Congress has been a whirlwind, packed with a marathon markup of a $2 trillion infrastructure package, COVID-19 response packages, and a lot of pettifogging by both sides of the aisle. Coming up in a couple of weeks will be Infrastructure Week. This is a dedicated week focused on the shared transportation priorities between the Executive and Legislative Branches of the Federal Government to fix America’s crumbling roads, bridges, and other infrastructure needs. EducationIf COVID has taught us anything, the need to have a diversified business portfolio that utilizes different lanes is key to building resiliency in your business during challenging times. Join TIA and our speakers for an informative Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) that explores alternative modes for your business to prepare yourself for the next market disruption. October’s VILT is perfect for you! In this four-day VILT, we’ll cover the benefits and common pitfalls of Intermodal Transport, Less-Than-Truckload Transport, Cross-Border Freight, and Temperature Controlled Transport. Each session is a two-hour exploration of each mode with different industry experts, and will be held October 6, 8, 13, and 14. Registrants can sign up for individual sessions or save money and sign up for the 4-day course bundle.
