*Summary:*          The truckers are protesting AB 5, which is also known
as the gig worker law, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The law, which
applies only to workers in California regardless of where the employer is
based, assumes all workers as employees unless they satisfy three
conditions: they are free from the control of the hiring company, do work
outside the hiring company's usual business, and have an independent
business themselves.
