Utah AG urges Supreme Court to review meal and rest breaks case

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes writes about why he believes the Supreme Court should review the Bernstein v. Virgin America case: “The 9th Circuit’s decision undermines the very core of the Airline Deregulation Act, which overrides any state law that would significantly affect “prices, routes, and services” if applied to airlines. The act, passed by Congress and enforced for decades, specifically prohibits the exact conduct California is attempting to force on America.” Reyes notes that “the 9th Circuit’s decision threatens to reimpose the web of regulation that stifled economic growth before airline deregulation.”
