Petition of the day

By

The petition of the day is:

16-307

Issue: Whether arbitration agreements with individual employees that bar them from pursuing work-related claims on a collective or class basis in any forum are prohibited as an unfair labor practice under 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1), because they limit the employees’ right under the National Labor Relations Act to engage in “concerted activities” in pursuit of their “mutual aid or protection,” 29 U.S.C. § 157, and are therefore unenforceable under the savings clause of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 2.

 

Cases: National Labor Relations Board v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc.

Recommended Citation: Kate Howard, Petition of the day, SCOTUSblog (Nov. 3, 2016, 12:00 AM), https://www.scotusblog.com/2016/11/petition-of-the-day-1023/
