Supreme Court Clarifies FAA Exemption for 'Last-Mile' Drivers in Arbitration Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a significant decision clarifying the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act's (FAA) transportation worker exemption. The Court ruled that workers performing purely intrastate deliveries may still fall within the exemption if their work is part of a continuous interstate flow of goods, meaning a worker does not need to cross state lines to qualify as 'engaged in interstate commerce' for FAA purposes.
