NLRB issues decision in D.R. Horton protecting employees from arbitration agreements barring class actions
Fairly hot off the presses, we have the National Labor Relations Board's decision in D.R. Horton, Inc. The decision addresses, among other things, whether a mandatory arbitration agreement that bars class or collective actions violates certain employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Hint: it does. Very important for certain wage & hour cases.
Full disclosure: I contributed an amicus brief in response to the NLRB's invitation for such briefs, as noted in footnote 1.
