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.”

So after reading this, and please someone correct me, this is good for the workers, yes?

In this case yes, because transportation workers have special protections, but it can just as easily apply to strip transportation workers of rights given to bakery workers in different circumstances.

I think it's kind of neutral.

I think we should simplify our laws so that everyone gets the same protections.

But at least it’s defined now so they don’t have wiggle room to take advantage of grey areas.

Every category has a surrounding grey area. Maximizing the number of categories is a path to maximizing the total grey area.

It honestly looks like it. I'm shocked
