Here is a free sample of a new case summary that will be published in next month's issue of California Case Summaries Monthly™.
California Supreme Court
Labor
Busker v. Wabtec (2021) _ Cal.5th _ , 2021 WL 3612126: The California Supreme Court, responding to a request from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to decide a question of state law, ruled that publicly funded work on rolling stock, such as train cars, does not fall under the statutory definition of "public works" in Labor Code section 1720 et seq. and therefore prevailing wages are not required to be paid to workers performing this work. It also ruled that the onboard installation labor was not transformed into "public work" merely because the railcar and locomotive components would be operated together with the "public work" towers built on land next to the tracks.
