Summary: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is petitioning the FMCSA to reverse its 2020 determination that California's meal and rest break laws are preempted by the Motor Carrier Safety Act. They argue that the FMCSA lacks the statutory authority to preempt state laws of general applicability and that such laws provide significant safety benefits for drivers.
