Case: Wage & Hour/Arbitration (C.D. Cal.)

A California federal district court granted MV Transportation, Inc. and MV Public Transportation, Inc.'s motion to compel arbitration of a bus driver’s non-preempted expense reimbursement claim under California’s Private Attorneys General Act, finding the driver had signed a valid arbitration agreement governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, while also granting judgment on the pleadings for preempted claims under the Labor Management Relations Act because the driver’s overtime, meal period, and rest period rights existed solely under his collective bargaining agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 1575, AFL-CIO.
