A federal judge will not temporarily exempt freelance journalists and photographers from a broad new California labor law, saying they waited too long to challenge restrictions that they fear could put some of them out of business.
A hearing on their request isn’t scheduled until March. An attorney who sued on behalf of the groups said Monday that the harm to their profession is immediate from the law that took effect with the new year. “Plaintiffs’ delay belies their claim that there is an emergency,” Gutierrez said in his ruling Friday. There would have been time for a full hearing had they “promptly filed” their objections, he wrote.
The American Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Press Photographers Assn. contend that the law would unconstitutionally affect free speech and the media by imposing what their lawsuit calls an “irrational and arbitrary” limit of 35 submissions annually to each media outlet.
Meanwhile, Uber and Postmates, who were allegedly the target of this law, got a temporary injunction against enforcement on them. SB 5 was poorly crafted. They tried to cast a wide net to help the unions rather than targeting specific industries.
