A recent state court decision continues to allow employers to include a waiver of class action lawsuits by employees within the employment arbitration agreement. The court reaffirmed the idea that class action lawsuits are procedural, the purpose being to ease the burden on the court when a large groups seeks to sue another party, and not a substantive right, such as life and liberty as protected by the Constitution.

The court also rejected the idea that this waiver violates employee rights to engage in collective bargaining. In whole, the court’s decision makes for greater enforceability of arbitration clauses within employment agreement between your business and your employees and greater protection for the investment you have made into your business through the protection of an employment agreement.
