Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the Court, held that “last-mile” delivery drivers who complete the final intrastate leg of goods traveling in interstate commerce qualify as workers “engaged in … interstate commerce.” As a result, they fall within the Federal Arbitration Act’s (FAA) exemption and generally cannot be compelled to arbitrate their employment disputes.
