Robert Hansen Trucking, Inc. v. Labor and Industry Review Commission

N/A

OUTCOME: Client won in the Supreme Court

The issue involved was "who is the employer"; the licensed motor carrier or the owner of equipment that is leased to the motor carrier along with a driver. This case arose from an unemployment determin ... ation which held the motor carrier's unemployment account responsible when a driver of a tractor owned by a third party, and leased to the motor carrier, was fired by the equipment owner. The issue was litigated through circuit court, the court of appeals and finally to the Wisconsin Supreme Court which overturned all of the earlier decisions.
