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

A Massachusetts federal district court denied Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. and Bimbo Foods Bakeries Distribution, LLC’s motion to compel arbitration and recommended denying their motion to dismiss Massachusetts Wage Act and unjust enrichment claims brought by delivery drivers who alleged they were misclassified as independent contractors, finding that the drivers qualified as transportation workers engaged in interstate commerce exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act, and had plausibly alleged they were employees entitled to expense reimbursements under state law.
