6th Circuit: Right-to-Sue Waiver Must be Clear

An employment application isn't sufficient notice of a waiver of an employee's right to sue the employer, the 6th Circuit ruled April 26 in Alonso v. Huron Valley Ambulance, Inc.

Alan and Kimberly Alonso applied for jobs with Huron Valley Ambulance (HVA) in July 2005. They each completed an application with a provision requiring employees to submit any job-related claims to an internal grievance board as the sole remedy.
