ARBITRATION
No Stripper Agreement
PHILADELPHIA — An arbitration agreement that a stripper was allegedly told to sign right before her shift started was unconscionable because it barred her ability to bring her wage-and-hour collective and class actions in the arbitration setting, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Mark A. Kearney found the agreement Jessica Herzfeld signed with the Gold Club did not expressly or implicitly show an agreement to allow for collective or class arbitration. He said a simple mention in the arbitration agreement of the American Arbitration Association rules and regulations also did not expand the agreement to include class or collective actions.
