A trucking company has clients that require them to deliver goods all over the
country. The company hires employees who live in various states and assigns
them delivery routes that allow them to be home as much as possible. One of
the drivers lives in a different state from where the trucking company is
located and feels that he is being denied benefits because of this. The
company says that the laws of their state do not require what the employee is
requesting. If the driver decides to pursue a legal case, which of the following
would most likely be true?
A. It is a matter of state law, and because the state laws might differ,
it is impossible to predict what the courts might decide.
B. The courts will likely end up requiring the governments of the two
states to change their laws so that they agree and do not
contradict one another.
C. The case would be heard in federal courts because the two parties
are from different states.
D. Because the driver is not from the same state as the company
itself, he is not allowed to bring a case against the company on
this matter.
