In the labor and employment world, one big question for employers is: Does an employer violate the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) by requiring employees to sign an agreement to arbitrate any claims concerning their wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment only on an individual basis, rather than in a class or collective action? More simply, can an employer require employees to waive their right to file class and collective actions if they want to work at the company? (Class and collective actions are lawsuits involving large numbers of plaintiffs all sharing similar claims, e.g., a class of employees all claiming they have been improperly classified as exempt from overtime.)
