Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether rideshare drivers are exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act's exemption for "contracts of employment of seamen, railroad employees, or any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce," 9 U.S.C. § 1, despite transporting passengers across state borders tens of millions of times every year.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Federal Arbitration Act's exemption for 'any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce' applies to rideshare drivers who regularly transport passengers across state lines, or whether the exemption requires that interstate transportation be the primary focus of the workers' job description
