- malwarebytess 7y agoNo, not necessarily. Pretty narrow ruling. It depends on the facts of the cases.
- brlewis 7y agoThe facts look quite similar to me. I think the difference is law. The Amazon case was based on U.S. law and the Apple case on California law. In the Amazon case, the ruling said "These arguments are properly presented to the employer at the bargaining table, see 29 U. S. C. §254(b)(1), not to a court in an FLSA claim." EDIT: There's a thread about this farther down: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22322608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22322608
- hypersoar 7y agoThat case was under federal law. This one is under California law. The older case was decided on statutory, not Constitutional, grounds, and there was nothing in it precluding states from passing stronger laws.
