United States Ninth Circuit

District court's dismissal, based on federal preemption, of claims brought by a certified class of drivers alleging violations of California's meal and rest break laws is reversed, where California's meal and rest break laws as applied to the motor carrier defendants were not related to defendants' prices, routes, or services, and therefore were not preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act.
