Executive Summary

The district court granted plaintiffs' motion to remand a putative class action under Washington's Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA) against Covenant Transport, Inc. (a subsidiary of CVLG) to state court, finding that plaintiffs lacked Article III standing because they failed to allege concrete harm (e.g., job interview or pay negotiations). The case is not dismissed but will proceed in state court; no damages or injunctive relief were ordered.

Key Facts
