#SCOTUS Appears Split on Paying Workers for Security Screening

During oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court today, the justices appeared split on whether having to go through an extensive screening after working in an Amazon warehouse is something workers should be paid for or is more akin to checking out at the end of one's shift, Tony Mauro, writing in Supreme Court Brief, reports. "Former Solicitor General Paul Clement, arguing his 75th case before the justices, asserted on behalf of the employer that 'the exit screenings are a logical part of the egress process' that does not require payment to workers," Mauro reports.
