The Supreme Court issued a ruling in a case regarding forced arbitration agreements used by companies to prevent class action lawsuits.
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision ruled
that employers have the right to insist that labor disputes get resolved individually, rather than allowing workers to join together in class action lawsuits.

Huge blow to working people!
ReplyDeleteMore like a huge blow to lawyers pockets.
DeleteSo I have been discussing this case since yesterday. I think it is unfortunate but there is a fact that many are just glossing over. The employer signed contracts with these folks. Very few employers do that. There are many reasons why they will never do that. Employers would be more worried about contractual rights they would have to give employees. Does McDonalds really want to enter into contracts with employees? United Airlines? Walmart? I seriously doubt it. The reach of this opinion will be very limited.
ReplyDeleteIt's sucks it takes a Supreme Court ruling to enforce a signed contract that's whats unfortunate.
