U.S. Supreme Court Tosses Ruling on Arbitration of Job Disputes

The U.S. Supreme Court supported a delivery truck driver’s attempt to extend the list of interstate commerce

employees who are exempt from the requirement of mandatory arbitration of legal disputes beyond those working for transportation companies.

Bissonette works as a delivery driver for LePage Bakeries on Park Street, a division of Wonder Bread manufacturer Flowers Foods.

According to Bissonette, Flowers Foods treats its drivers more like independent contractors than like employees, depriving them of their wages.
