CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR
THE NINTH CIRCUIT
No. 031238. Argued October 3, 2005Decided November 8, 2005*
After this Court ruled that the term workweek in the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) included the time employees spent
walking from time clocks near a factory entrance to their worksta-
tions, Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co., 328 U. S. 680, 691692, Congress passed the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947, which, inter alia,
excepted from FLSA coverage walking on the employers premises to
and from the location of the employees principal activity or activi-ties, �4(a)(1), and activities that are preliminary or postliminary to
said principal activity or activities, �4(a)(2). The Act did not other-
wise change this Courts descriptions of work and workweek or de-fine workday. Regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Labor
shortly thereafter concluded that the Act did not affect the computa-
tion of hours within a workday, 29 CFR �790.6(a), which includes the period between the commencement and completion of the prin-
cipal activity or activities, �790.6(b). Eight years after the enact-
ment of the Portal-to-Portal Act and these interpretative regulations, the Court explained that the term principal activity or activities . . .
embraces all activities which are an integral and indispensable part
of the principal act
