{"text":"A California court has dismissed a truck driver's claims regarding the state's meal-and-rest-break provisions, which the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has determined are pre-empted by federal law.\n\n\nThe May 2 decision by the US District Court for the Central District of California benefitss to a putative class action suit filed by California-based driver Anthony Ayala against a company he had worked for, Chattanooga, Tenn.-based US Xpress Inc. In the Suit, which the court received in January 2016, Ayala claimed that US Xpress did not provide him with adequate meal and rest periods, nor did it provide proper compensation or itemized pay statements.\n\n\nThe court said it does not have authority to review the merits of the case, a decision rooted in the FMCSA's determination that federal rest-break laws pre-empt California's separate meal-and-rest-break requirements. Since FMCSA determined that federal law pre -empts state law, the court stated that it is precluded from ruling on the plaintiff's claims.\n\n\nRead more: https://www.ttnews.com/articles/fmcsas-meal-rest-break-ruling-withstands-first-court-challenge ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
