Facts
The Industrial Welfare Commission (defendant), a body that set labor laws for California, promulgated an order that fixes wages, hours, and other employment conditions for public housekeeping workers. The California Hotel and Motel Association (the association) sued, claiming the order was invalid because it did not include a statement of basis. The court ruled against the association, and the case was appealed to the California Supreme Court.
