NATIONAL AUTOMATIC LAUNDRY & CLEANING COUNCIL V. SHULTZ
443 F.2d 689 (D.C. Cir. 1971)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over maximum hour and minimum wage provisions of
the Fair Labor Standards Act. Council (P) sought a declaratory judgment claiming that U.S.
Department of Labor, (D) by the department's wage and hour administrator, had erred by
ruling that launderettes are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.S. 201 et
seq. The district court dismissed the action, and P appealed.
FACTS: Counsel for National (P) posed a question over whether its industry was subject to
the FLSA. It got a reply back by letter stating that its members were subject to the act. P
then sued the Secretary of Labor in court contending that the administration's
interpretation of the act was erroneous. That suit was dismissed by the district court for
want of jurisdiction. The court of appeals reversed that decision but rule in favor of the
government on the merits.
