Brief in Opposition to Cert. (05/07/2008)
Description:
Fair Labor Standards Act: Compensation for "Donning and Doffing" Whether the court of appeals was correct in holding that workplace activities required by an employer and performed for the employer's benefit constitute "work" under the Fair Labor Standards Act even if the activities do not require a significant level of exertion. Brian Wolfman and Greg Beck of Public Citizen were co-counsel for the respondent at the cert stage, and the Supreme Court denied cert.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
