UPDATE 1: 7-0. Not many people saw that coming, even if you got the result right. I was way off. I guess I’ll go back to predicting sports outcomes.

UPDATE 2: Essentially, the overtime premium analogy argument won the court over. It was a good argument. I had thought that the use of the term “pay” instead of “wage” was a hook, but I fully recognized that the definition in LC 200 left it open. I’m surprised by this result not because it’s “wrongly decided,” but because I had different estimations of the leanings of some of the justices. The decision was 7-0 and we’re not going to see a bill changing this anytime soon. This is the law now.
