Summary: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is petitioning the FMCSA to reverse a 2020 determination that preempts Washington's meal and rest break laws for commercial motor vehicle drivers. They argue that the FMCSA lacks the statutory authority to preempt state laws of general applicability and that these specific laws provide important safety benefits for drivers.
