麻豆传媒 partner Christopher Ward is quoted in the Law360 articles 鈥溾 and 鈥,鈥 offering insight on an airport fuel pumper鈥檚 wage and hour case and the transportation worker arbitration exemption.
Referencing a related decision handed down by the Ninth Circuit in Adan Ortiz v. Randstad InHouse Services LLC et al., Ward said, 鈥淭he Ortiz panel really emphasizes the importance of the workers directly moving the goods themselves and demonstrates why the Ninth Circuit should overturn the district court.”
Ward, who is representing companies involved in the case, said that while fuel pumpers are 鈥渃ertainly involved in the flow of the goods, they have no work with respect to the goods themselves,鈥 and therefore the fuel pumper鈥檚 suit should go to arbitration.
