The Los Angeles litigation lawyer represents appellant. The California litigation attorney made a motion to protect the party’s interest.
Outcome
Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, and for a finding of civil contempt and sanctions denied.
Overview
49 U.S.C.S. § 41713(b)(1) of the Airline Deregulation Act did not apply to the employees’ state wage claims against a ground handling service provider where the NLRB’s and National Mediation Board’s opinions under the Railway Labor Act were irrelevant, the statute referred to air carriers “that may provide air transportation,” and the provider had provided no evidence that held a certificate to provide air transportation. Under governing law from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the wage and failure to provide meal and rest break claims were not preempted.
Outcome
Motions denied.
