The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear a case from Uber drivers who sought to be exempted from a mandatory arbitration clause in their employment contracts. The lawsuit sought to obtain an exemption from the arbitration agreement under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).

Additionally, the NLRB ruled that an employer may legally terminate the employment of an employee who refuses to sign an arbitration agreement with class or collective action waivers included in its language.
