How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that there is no field preemption in the FLSA because of the savings clause
• noting that the FLSA “prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing complaints about violations” of the statute
• addressing the similar question of whether plaintiffs common law fraud claim was preempted by the FLSA, and focusing on whether conflict preemption applied
• “Kendall is not a case about federal preemption of state law; rather, it is about whether another federal statute (Section 1983) can support a claim that clearly falls under the FLSA.”
• “Claims that are directly covered by the FLSA (such as 28 overtime and retaliation disputes) must be brought under the FLSA.”
