Issue: Whether, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit held, Just Energy Marketing Corp.'s door-to-door solicitors are exempt “outside salesmen” under the Fair Labor Standards Act or, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit held, the door-to-door solicitors are not exempt “outside salesmen” under the FLSA because the sales agreements remain subject to regulatory checks and Just Energy Marketing Corp.'s ultimate approval.
