As protesters push supply chains to the brink attention turns to Newsom
The Port of Oakland has been brought to a grinding halt this week as hundreds of protesting truckers hold a key commerce hub captive. The action — following a similar one at Southern California ports last week — has dealt another blow to supply chains already reeling from pandemic delays.
For California truckers, key provisions of the law have been on hold since 2020 amid legal wrangling. But in June the Supreme Court declined to review a case opposing AB 5, leaving the state free to start enforcing the new system of employee classifications and sparking the current protest.

Truck drivers have blocked access to container terminals in protest of state Assembly Bill 5, a bill that creates standards for classifying workers as independent contractors.
The dispute centers around the status of drivers who own or lease their trucks and are classified as independent contractors. Labor experts say that some of these drivers are legitimate independent drivers who work for multiple businesses and set their own hours, but others often lease their trucks from a company and work for that same company full-time while paying all of their own costs and lacking any workplace protections.
