So does this mean that state labor law overrules federal law if it's more stringent? It makes me wonder if the same situation might obtain in New York -- whether the new federal regulation might not effect us because our state regulations are stricter. Or is California for some reason unique? Any labor lawyers in the house who care to comment?
