How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that “last-mile delivery workers who haul goods on the final legs of interstate journeys are transportation workers ‘engaged in . . . interstate commerce,’ regardless of whether the workers themselves physically cross state lines”
- holding that last-mile delivery driver for Amazon falls within § 1 exemption
- observing that Washington law would apply as a “fallback” to interpret the dispute resolution section of an agreement only “if the FAA is inapplicable”
- explaining that courts should “assess whether workers’ activities include the transportation of goods or people in the flow of interstate commerce”
- finding that couriers of goods were exempt because they were still in the process of delivering goods to individuals that had ordered them from out of state
- finding that transportation workers responsible for only an intrastate leg of an integrated, interstate journey were nonetheless understood to be \engaged in interstate commerce\ when the FAA was passed in 1925
