Legal Alert: Time To Revisit Arbitration Agreements: Employers Dealt A Blow By Unanimous Labor Board Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

This Legal Alert was posted by Samantha Bononno (Philadelphia), Rick Grimaldi (Philadelphia, Washington D.C. Metro), and Reyburn Lominack III (Columbia) on June 19th, 2019.

It explains how a recent decision may mean that any mandatory arbitration agreements that could be interpreted as preventing employees from filing charges with the National Labor Relations Board are invalid, even if they include general disclaimer language. To quote from this alert’s conclusion, “You should promptly review any arbitration agreements you maintain to determine whether they include broad language that might be read as precluding employees from filing charges with the Board.”

It explains how an employer prohibited union organizers from soliciting in its cafeteria and then won a court case upholding that ban, reversing 37 years of precedent. To quote from this alert’s conclusion, “For those employers who have historically “tolerated” organizing in public areas for fear of violating the law, this new development offers an additional weapon against unwanted activity.”
