On Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to decide the issues of whether
employers may include class/collective action waivers in their
arbitration agreements. As we discussed in more detail
here, multiple federal appeals courts have split over the
issue. This has created a difficult situation for employers
and employees, especially where the employer operates in multiple
states. By the time the Supreme Court takes up the issue in
April, there may be a ninth justice on the bench. We will
continue to provide updates as new information becomes available,
but in the meantime, we encourage you to visit our sister blog ADR: Advice from
the Trenches and read its latest terrific post: When an Arbitration Clause Sounds Permissive But

The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
