Get drafting, California employment lawyers. This week the California Supreme Court issued a decision upholding class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements, according to Tony Oncidi, Laura Reathaford and Keith Goodwin of Proskauer Rose.
The decision, Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, “reaffirms that class actions are a procedural device that exist to make the resolution of certain claims more efficient, not a substantive right to which litigants are invariably entitled,” they explain. It goes on to reject the National Labor Relation Board’s claim that waivers against class actions violate an employee’s rights and says that employers may delay compelling arbitration, as long as it’s not unreasonable.
