Description

The Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. 213(a)(3), provides an exemption for "any employee employed as a seaman." The sole issue in the instant case was whether men employed on a dredge were "seamen." Judge Barnes answered the quere in the negative. He predicated his conclusion on the grounds that (a) the Act is remedial and calls for a liberal construction and (b) the factual situation required it.
