You how ab5 will impact the Trucking Industry. Today the drivers showed up to demonstrate how it might affect consumers as well. It was not business as usual at the port of oakland this morning. The independent Truck Drivers who make up 90 of the operation are on strike over ab 5. The new law requires Trucking Companies make their drivers employees shutting out the independent operators who own their own rigs. Protesters blocked other trucks from entering the port as a way to get lawmakers attention. If the port got affected, the government will listen and they will have to. Thats what were actually doing. Well continue until we get it. Reporter trucks lined up down the streets as police made a deal with the protesters to allow ten trucks in every 30 minutes. Right now in good faith, i need everyone to separate, make a path and let five in. Reporter currently Trucking Companies deal with permits and insurance needed to work in the port and the independent drivers just drive. Ab5 requires each Owner Operator to do that themselves. Many see it as a ploy to force drivers into companies where they could be required to join a union. Jason rabinowitz with the local teamsters doesnt see anything wrong with that. The greedy Trucking Companies are denying the right by miss classifying them as employees. Thats not right. Every worker, every driver deserves the right to have a union and all the benefits that come with that. Reporter the truckers on the protest line say they shouldnt be forced out of their lifestyle to appease a union in sacramento. An Owner Operator becomes an Owner Operator because they want to be their own boss. Reporter in the meantime the shipping containers are stacking up. The drivers say take a good look, this is what it will be like if theyre forced out of the state. Go back to the same problem, the ships backing up on the sea without being unloaded. So what happens, the consumers have to pay for that. If you now remove 90 of the truckers, who is going to pull out the containers. Reporter the truckers plan to continue their strike through wednesday. At the port of oakland, john ramos, kpix 5. Legal challenges have delayed implementation of the law. Those have been rejected.

Uber will pay the money out to more than 65,000 app users. The Ride Share Company reached a statement saying, quote, it has long been our policy to refund wait time charges when they alerted us. Prior to this matter being filed, we made changes so that any rider who shares they have a disability would have wait time fees waved automatically.

Normally we brag about a 30degree difference from the hottest inland locations to the beach. Today it was 50. Let me put some specific numbers on. Pacifica only made it to 58 actually a 40degree difference, from 58 to 98. Still impressive. Normally we talk about 30. We were well above that. Daytime high today of 98 in concord. You can visualize the spread on here from the deep shades of purple from the hottest inland locations, at near 100, to the cool greens, and the better way to visualize this is to lay on top of that where that beautiful wet gray blanket we were seeing coming in from the golden gate. Had the coast and pacifica socked in today. You can see the streamer coming in from the golden gate. This is what july looks like around here. Even though the inland temperatures are hotter than average, well start bringing those down, too, over the next couple days. Well visualize that forecast by using that same wonderful feature here. Watch the marine layer fill in a little more of the bay tomorrow. A little more than it did today. This is one of the leading indicators that youll get a cooldown. The more of the onshore flow we can get, the more of the marine layer, the nice wet great blanket we can pull in, the bigger the benefit for cooler air. Watch wednesday. Tuesday is already better than today was. We didnt get much today. Thats wednesday. So you definitely see the trend here. We dont have any major large scale pattern shifts coming, but we do have our friend in july, that beautiful marine layer, going back to work over the next few days. Youre going to see in the sevenday forecast its about to look a lot better. No more of these upper 90s for those inland locations. Tomorrow, its mid to upper 50s for morning lows. Daytime highs already look better tomorrow. So instead of the 98s for concord and livermore, weve got an 89 or a 90. Youll go to only 84 in santa rosa. Thats the benefit of the petaluma gap. The same onshore flow, we always see it come from the golden gate. Theres a gap in the hills that points right at petaluma. That cool air can spread out. Santa rosa will cool down before inland alameda and inland contra costa do. Around 80 tomorrow for the east bay shoreline. Weve been watching the smoke for the last several days. There was a new addition today in front of the marsh fire, watch the hills in the foreground. That was the fire that took off in the hills, not that far. It was put out fairly quickly, not putting more smoke in the sky. But we have had issues with air quality. For now, its a better story. Pretty much moderate now. Youve got moderate air quality for those inland parts of contra costa county. Lets put final numbers on the sevenday forecast. If we look at the trend for san jose on the bottom, it doesnt go down a whole lot. You bring the temperatures down a little. You go down to the low 80s by the time be get to friday and saturday. In the microclimates, the top two lines are inland east bay valleys and north bay valleys, a lot of mid 80s in here. Thats the main headline in the first alert forecast.
