Supreme Court: Drivers hauling baked goods are in transportation, not baking (finance.yahoo.com)

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.”

I mean it's logical, much like the flipside were if you bake instead of build a car, you're a baker not a builder.

TBF, I wasn't certain if this was the correct group to post in. Also, is it poor form to post here and the lemmy.world instance? I'm just looking for my left and my right boundaries.

Why is this oniony? "Professional drivers are in the transportation industry" sounds absurd?
