U.S. Chamber files amicus brief
April 11, 2022
The brief argues that local delivery drivers do not fall within the Federal Arbitration Act’s narrow exception for “workers engaged . . . in interstate commerce,” because that exception only covers workers who actually and regularly engage in transportation across state or national borders as a central part of their jobs.
Mark C. Fleming and Charles C. Kelsh of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and the U.S. Chamber’s Litigation Center served as co-counsel for the U.S. Chamber.
