Subject: U.S. Department of Labor Important Office of the Solicitor Briefs Update
You are subscribed to Important Briefs for the U.S. Department of Labor Office of the Solicitor. This page has recently been updated. The following new briefs have been posted to the DOL/SOL Website:
SOL Fair Labor Standards:
[PDF] Lopez v. Tyson Foods, Inc., amicus, in support of plaintiffs-appellants
Description: Whether the district court abused its discretion by instructing the jury that only the reasonable amount of time spent on pre- and post-shift activities by employees at the Lexington, Nebraska plant was compensable.
SOL Occupational Safety and Health:
[PDF] Secretary of Labor v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., brief for the Secretary
Description: This brief argues that the ALJ correctly determined that a crowd eagerly waiting outside of a Wal-Mart store in anticipation of a day-after-Thanksgiving sale constituted a recognized hazard, and that Wal-Mart therefore violated the general duty clause when it failed to protect its employees from crowd-related dangers.
U.S. Supreme Court:
[PDF] Cigna Corp. v. Amara, amicus, supporting respondents
Description: The brief argues that participants who show likely harm from an employer's failure to abide by a summary plan description (SPD) are entitled to the benefits promised in the SPD unless defendants can show that the failure was harmless error.
