U.S. appeals court judges on Tuesday said a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling involving Southwest Airlines baggage handlers does not support Domino's Pizza LLC's bid to force class action wage claims by delivery drivers into arbitration. The three-judge 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Seattle appeared unlikely to disturb its 2022 ruling that Domino's drivers are engaged in interstate commerce, exempting them from a federal law that requires the enforcement of agreements to bring legal claims in arbitration rather than court. The drivers, who allege various wage law violations, pick up pizza ingredients at local warehouses and deliver them to Domino's franchises.
