Depublication Request Denied in Air Couriers International

In May, after requests by, among others CELA and the State Labor Commissioner, the Third District Court of Appeal published a previously unpublished opinion upholding a trial court determination that a group of couriers were misclassified as independent contractors and should have been classified as employees. Air Couriers International v. Employment Development Department (2007) 150 Cal.App.4th 923. On Yesterday, the Supreme Court denied a depublication request by the Messenger Courier Association of the Americas. We previously commented about the case here.
