Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit March 2, 1989, 87-4762 (Ann McLaughlin Secretary of Labor, U.S. Dept. Of Labor v. Seafood, Inc.)

ALYIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

An employer who at least minimally regulates piece workers’ method of work, but does not regulate their hours or prohibit them from working for competitors, seeks to escape the coverage of the Federal Labor Standards Act. We hold that he cannot.

I.

Seafood, Inc.
