 Employers increasingly include collective and class action waivers in their arbitration agreements to avoid potentially lengthy and costly litigation. Employees increasingly see their state and federal court lawsuits removed to individual arbitration. Various courts are split on whether this type of waiver is lawful. Some administrative agencies find these waivers unlawful or take the position they are unenforceable. The United States Supreme Court will take up the issue in their October 2017 term in three consolidated cases, EPIC SYSTEMS CORP. V. LEWIS, ERNST & YOUNG LLP V. MORRIS, and NLRB V. MURPHY OIL USA. Will the Supreme Court’s decision impact litigation strategies in class action or other collective actions? Will it impact the rights of employees to pursue class or collective claims with the courts or with administrative agencies such as the NLRB?
