Description
Overnite Transportation Company appeals the Superior Court's grant of summary judgment which requires Overnite to pay overtime to its employees who work more than 40 hours per week in the state of Washington. Overnite contends that the overtime provisions of the Washington Minimum Wage Act (WMWA) should not be applied, because the WMWA is preempted by the Federal Motor Carrier Act (MCA), because enforcement of the WMWA impedes interstate commerce in violation of the commerce clause, and because the Department of Labor and Industries violated the Administrative Procedure Act in adopting a rule which applies the WMWA to interstate motor carriers. In addition, Overnite contends that the Superior Court erred in awarding exemplary damages, a statutory penalty, and attorney fees. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
