Case: Wage & Hour/Arbitration (D. Mass.)

A Massachusetts federal district court denied Capstone Logistics, LLC’s motion to compel arbitration but granted its motion to transfer venue in a wage claim brought by a female delivery driver, finding that the arbitration agreement was part of a “contract of employment” for a transportation worker exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act, while the forum selection clause in the operating agreement was enforceable despite the plaintiff’s arguments that it would violate public policy by potentially applying Delaware law to Massachusetts wage claims.
