- Flower Foods, Inc., et al., v. Brock
Date: December 11, 2025
RLC’s Position: The RLC joined the U.S. Chamber, National Retail Federation, and several other industry associations on a brief which argues that (1) the residual clause of section 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act—which excludes from the Act’s coverage “contracts of employment of…any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce”—should be limited to classes of workers directly involved in transporting goods across state or international borders, and (2) an improperly expansive construction of the residual clause will harm businesses and workers and burden courts.
Counsel: Archis Parasharami and Daniel Jones of Mayer Brown.
