United States Sixth Circuit
VAUGHN v. WATKINS MOTOR LINES, INC., 01-3049
Where employees exercised the judgment and discretion necessary to be classified as "loaders," the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime-wage provisions were inapplicable to them; racial discrimination employment claims were not actionable where evidence established that the decision to discharge was due to refusal to work overtime hours.
