Employment Law This Week (Episode 65: Week of March 27, 2017) has released bonus footage of its interview with Michael D. Thompson, a Member of the Firm at Epstein Becker Green.

On appeal, the First Circuit agreed that a missing “Oxford” comma makes the drivers’ reading of the exemption a reasonable one.
