SCOTUS To Decide Arbitration Issue
January 19, 2017
Carlton Fields National Class Actions practice group leader, Julianna Thomas McCabe, was quoted in the Forbes article, “SCOTUS To Decide Arbitration Issue; Unclear If Trump Pick Will Be On Bench In Time.” The article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s consideration of whether implementation of class action waiver provisions in an arbitration clause in an employment contract, under the FAA, is barred under the National Labor Relations Act. McCabe shared, “… the question is whether employers can utilize arbitration agreements within employment contracts that require their employees to resolve disputes individually, as opposed to collectively.”
