Department of Labor - Case Summary** **What Happened:** Bradford's Trucking, Inc., a transportation company, had a legal dispute with Vermont's Department of Labor over employment law issues. The case was filed in Vermont court in June 2015. However, the specific details about what triggered this dispute between the trucking company and the state labor department are not available in the court records. **What the Court Decided:** Unfortunately, the outcome of this case is not clear from the available information.
