WageLaw: Another U.S. District Court rejects DLSE’s affirmative duty requirement regarding rest and meal periods.

While I haven’t check this, it strikes me as quite likely that the judges who are not following Cicairos are GOP-nominated judges who have a generally pro-business disposition, and they don’t follow Cicairos for the sole reason that they don’t have to. It’s certainly not because they drew inferences from the California Supreme Court’s denial of review in Cicairos that would lead them to believe that the Supreme Court would have gone the other way if it had decided the issue.
