The ports need to invest in the very people that keep our economy going: port truck drivers.

We need to work to improve the quality of service and working conditions at the Ports for drivers.

[Justice4PortDrivers! @PortDriverUnion]

The answer is simple. To meet the record-high demand of products, companies like @Drive4Universal @XPOLogistics must stop misclassifying drivers and give them the wages and respect they deserve: whether as employees or true independent contractors.

This is a big win for port drivers on the heels of our legislative victories in CA! 🎉

"It’s clear that it will be harder and harder for trucking companies to continue to flout our laws — and harder for retailers to turn a blind eye," said Jessica Durrum, director of @OurPortLA

🚨VICTORY🚨

@GavinNewsom has signed #AB794 into law -- protecting drivers from predatory leasing for new clean trucks.

After years of delivering for our communities, port drivers are one step closer to an economy that gives them the protections & respect they deserve.

[Wendy Carrillo @AsmCarrillo]

#AB794: Climate Jobs & Equity Act is the first of its kind in the nation and was signed by Gov. @GavinNewsom into law. 

It aligns @AirResources w/ @CALWDA and ensures we meet zero emission goals by 2035 w/ truck drivers & workers as part of the solution. 

A #GND is possible! 🌎

[Our People Our Port @OurPortLA]

We look forward to the Governor signing #AB794 next so we can get to work on using these powerful tools to #protectportdrivers!  @SenGonzalez33 @AsmCarrillo

BIG NEWS! @GavinNewsom signed #SB338. This is a huge step toward ending exploitative misclassification at our ports. Now if powerful retailers at the top of the supply chain contract with trucking companies that are “repeat offenders” for wage theft, they’ll be held accountable

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

We're taking action to keep workers safe on the job & combat unfair pay practices while recognizing the dignity & humanity of our workers who have helped build the 5th largest economy in the world.

18 new worker protection bills were signed – here’s what a few of them do. 🧵 1/3

Garment workers put their lives on the line to sew PPE for us last year in unsafe conditions - and yet many of them don’t even make the minimum wage due to loopholes in CA law. We support @GarmentWorkerLA and their fight for SB62 on this Lobby Day!

[Our People Our Port @OurPortLA]

ALL port drivers deserve good wages, health and safety protections, and respect on the job. We continue to fight to address the systemic misclassification at our ports. Pass SB 338, AB 794, and SB 700! #protectportdrivers 🚛✊🏽
