Ah. I now understand a bumper sticker I saw 2 days ago, to the effect of: "No on AB5. I own this truck. AB5 will put me out of work." It was on a heavy double trailer dump truck, the kind that hauls dirt and debris to/from construction sites. I guess his thought is that AB5 will limit the ability to subcontract, forcing independent haulers of this type "out of business". As the services are still actually required, why the hiring company can't employ these folks rather than sub them out, I don't know. It might be fear of change. In my own (limited) 10 minute reading, and from https://www.mulfil.com/dynamex-borello-prepare-umbrella-storms/ https://www.mulfil.com/dynamex-borello-prepare-umbrella-stor..., ISTM that the existing law governing this is based on "Borello", and I guess that for uber/lyft, "Dynamex" (ABC) would apply instead. AB5 has an explicit carve-out for the construction industry, where the existing Borello test would continue to apply. If that reading is accurate, I don't know why this dump truck driver would have such a sticker on his trailer. The law doesn't change for him.
