Arbitration exemption applies to truckers outside of transportation industry

“A transportation worker need not work in the transportation industry to fall within the exemption from the FAA provided by the Act,” Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion. “The Second Circuit accordingly erred in compelling arbitration on the basis that petitioners work in the baking industry … The judgment of the Second Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
