SCOTUS: Courts will enforce employers' arbitration agreements
SCOTUS hears class-action waiver arguments in 3 wage-and-hour cases
Among the cases that the U.S. Supreme Court is deciding this term are three consolidated wage-and-hour cases. In each case, an employer required its employees to enter into arbitration agreements and waive their right to bring class-action lawsuits against the employer. While these types of agreements are commonplace, it is widely thought that many more employers would use such waivers if the Supreme Court determines that they are legal.
