Advocating on behalf of your companies

CLDA has joined with several major industry organizations in support of a pivotal court case that addresses arbitration for conflicts involving transportation workers. The association is one of the signers of an amicus brief before the court that addresses this issue alongside the American Trucking Association (ATA), National Home Delivery Association (NHDA) and Truckload Carriers Association (TCA). This move aligns us with several of the largest organizations in transportation and logistics and places CLDA at the forefront of efforts to defend the business models that make the final mile possible.

This legal effort underscores a key principle for our industry: final-mile companies deserve the right to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than litigation. Arbitration protects operational flexibility, reduces costly legal entanglements, and ensures faster resolution. These benefits are critical to the success of our members.

What is an amicus brief?

An amicus brief allows organizations that are not direct parties in a case to share their perspective on the decision’s broader implications. By signing on, CLDA is helping to inform the court of how its ruling could impact thousands of final-mile businesses and workers across the country.

Opportunities like this are often out of reach for individual businesses but as a unified voice through CLDA, our industry can be heard. Participating in legal advocacy, like signing onto this amicus brief, gives us access to tools and channels not readily available to individual members. CLDA ensures that your interests are represented in critical conversations that shape the future of final-mile logistics.

What’s next?

The court will consider the information presented, potentially scheduling oral arguments, and make a decision in the case. We will keep you updated.
