Arbitration Agreement In Employment

To further support arbitration agreements, the U.S. Supreme Court also ruled that the FAA allows employers to sign arbitration agreements in which workers waive their rights to bring a class action. In Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis (2018), the court ruled, in another 5-4 decision, that the FAA prevailed over the National Labor Relations Act. Although the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circle ruled that an employer asking a worker to sign an arbitration agreement was not enforceable, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that decision. In this way, the court made it more likely that more employers would require workers to waive their rights to bring a class action and to impose arbitration. Courts are distinguished by the fact that they require «reciprocity» of the agreement in order to submit claims to arbitration.
