In three decisions of monumental importance, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that employers may require employees to sign arbitration agreements with class action waivers as a condition of employment. In so holding, the Supreme Court rejected the National Labor Relations Board’s argument that class action waivers violate the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”). The Court’s decisions promise to dramatically alter the class action landscape, offering home care agencies a new way to minimize their exposure to lengthy and costly employment and wage and hour class actions claims.
