Yes, but mostly as a matter of slang. The 1985 Supreme Court decision in Garcia v.
San Antonio held that the FLSA applied to public sector (government) jobs as well as
private sector employment. The FLSA has often been referred to as the “Garcia Act”
since the Supreme Court decision. As a result of this court decision, Congress passed
some FLSA amendments addressing the FLSA application to government employment,
and these amendments have sometimes also been called the Garcia Act.
