Together we stand … or not – Workers contest enforceability of class action waiver

Description

Abstract: In Morris v. Ernst & Young, LLP, employees argued that their employer had violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it tried to enforce waivers prohibiting them from bringing a class action suit. This article describes how the Ninth Circuit weighed the National Labor Relations Board’s interpretation of the NLRA and the employer’s interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act to reach a decision. Morris v. Ernst & Young, LLP, No. 13-16599 (9th Cir.)
