Legal Beagle Bagel Breakfast

On May 21, 2018 the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling permitting the use of class action waivers in arbitration agreements.  The Court ruled that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) requires the courts to enforce arbitration agreements according to their terms, including terms requiring individualized arbitration proceedings.  The Court further declared that the National Labor Relations Act does not displace the FAA by preventing employees from engaging in “concerted activities.” The significance of this ruling cannot be overstated.  Employers and employees can enter into arbitration agreements that require individualized arbitration, and which prohibit class or collective actions.  The courts must enforce the arbitration agreement as written. Join us at our next Legal Beagle Bagel Breakfast at 9 am on Thursday, May 31st to learn about arbitration agreements, what makes them valid, and how this Supreme Court decision will affect workplace litigation in California. The Supreme Court Validates Class Action Waivers  in Arbitration Agreements     How does arbitration benefit my company? What must be included in an arbitration agreement to make it legal? Must we hire an applicant who refuses to sign an arbitration agreement? How will this affect cases that could be filed against my company?   Thursday, May 31, 2018 – 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. 7112 North Fresno Street, Suite 450; Fresno, California 93720  *This session will be available via webinar.Cost: $25.00 per person (FREE for HR Business Partners); an additional cost of $10.00 per line for participating via webinar.
