Clark & Gotzler, Attorneys at Law (5/21/2018)
Earlier today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a much-anticipated decision that will impact millions of employment contracts across the country and potentially encourage many more employers to require employees to arbitrate employment claims. In a 5-4 opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Court ruled that class or collective action waivers in employee arbitration agreements are fully enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and do not violate employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
