But the Supreme Court’s April 12 ruling that they are in the transportation business opens the door for them to take the dispute to court.
That’s because the FAA — in its very first section — exempts from its mandate several types of workers, such as railroad employees and “any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce.”
I wasn’t 100% certain this was the correct group to post in. Or, if like, A Boring Dystopia was better? Also, is it poor form to post both here and the lemmy.ml instance? I often wonder if my Internet etiquette could use some polish.
Definitely fits here, IMO. Classifying truck drivers based on the cargo they’re hauling is kind of crazy (unless the company has its own freight division).
If it fits both, then post to both. Most UIs will roll up crossposts now, and usually only one is shown directly in the feed. That said, at least in my opinion, posting to two communities back to back is plenty. Any more, and it starts to feel a bit spammy (regardless of whether they’re rolled up into the crossposts). I’m sure you’ll get different answers based on who you ask, but that’s my take on it.
I love the ui crosspost thing. so useful.
Maybe people don’t know the context here.

Edit: I didn’t notice this was “not the onion” so I can see why people may be downvoting. It definitely does seem like an Oniony headline to me as it’s obvious delivery drivers aren’t “baking.”
