Summary: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is petitioning the FMCSA to reverse and rescind its 2018 and 2020 determinations that California and Washington meal and rest break laws are preempted. They argue that the FMCSA lacks the statutory authority to preempt laws of general applicability and that these state laws provide important safety and health protections for truck drivers.
