STRAIN v. WEST TRAVEL, INC.

No. 50642-1-I.

70 P.3d 158 (2003)

117 Wash.App. 251

Robert J. STRAIN, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, Appellant, v. WEST TRAVEL, INC., a Washington corporation, d/b/a Cruise West, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

June 9, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard Davies, Levinson Friedman PS, Seattle, WA, for Appellant.

Michelle Buhler, Randall Thomson, Attorneys At Law, Seattle, WA, for Respondent.

ELLINGTON, J.

Robert Strain worked for Cruise West on a ship sailing the Columbia River. He filed a proposed class action suit alleging Cruise West violated the wage and overtime provisions of the Washington Minimum Wage Act. But Strain was not covered by the Act because he was required to sleep at his place of employment, and in any event, maritime law preempts his claims. The trial court so ruled, and we affirm in all respects.
