Docket No.	Argument	Opinion	Vote	Author	Term
16-1362	Jan 17, 2018	Apr 2, 2018	5-4	Thomas	OT 2017

Holding: Because service advisors at car dealerships are "salesm[e]n . . . primarily engaged in . . . servicing automobiles," 29 U. S. C. "213(b)(10)(A), they are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act"s overtime-pay requirement.

Judgment: Reversed and remanded, 5-4, in an opinion by Justice Thomas on April 2, 2018. Justice Ginsburg filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan joined.
