In Bedoya v. American Eagle Express Inc., the Third Circuit Court of Appeal stated that the Federal Aviation Authorization Administration Act of 1994 (FAAAA) does not preempt New Jersey’s wage and hour laws, permitting delivery drivers to continue with a suit under state wage and hour laws for improper classification as independent contractors.
