AG Raoul led a coalition of 15 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court urging it to uphold a lower court decision that “last-mile” truck drivers are exempted from the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Raoul and the coalition filed their brief in support of a last-mile truck driver in Flowers Foods v. Brock. 

“We have seen the critical role all truck drivers play in keeping our states running efficiently, and there is no reason to treat some truck drivers differently than others simply because of the section of the route that they drive. I urge the Supreme Court to uphold the lower court’s decision, and allow states to better protect these essential workers from unsafe and unlawful working conditions.” – AG Raoul
