https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-epic-challenge-tickets-60277257901Last year the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision ruled that individual arbitration agreements are enforceable; thus allowing for employment agreements which waive employees’ rights to bring class action lawsuits or pursue private class action arbitrations. This is one of the most important decisions from the Supreme Court to impact workplace issues.
