Supreme Court Declines Uber Driver Arbitration Case

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). However, because the court refused to hear the appeal, the lower court’s ruling will stand, meaning the Uber drivers’ case will go to arbitration.

California Anti-Arbitration Law Held Up by Federal Injunction

A recent California law that would have made it illegal to put mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts has been held up by an injunction from a federal court. The new anti-arbitration law faced a great deal of controversy, as employers have made arbitration agreements an increasingly common part of their employment contracts. The injunction was issued as part of a lawsuit by employers attempting to prevent the law from coming into effect, as it would have this year.

NLRA Allows Collective Action Waivers in Arbitration Agreements

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that arbitration agreements containing provisions barring class or collective action do not violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). 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. The ruling affirms existing precedent regarding arbitration agreements, although it also departs from precedent in allowing such an agreement to be considered valid, even when it was distributed in response to a collective action it was attempting to halt.

    I can't recommend Steven Sack highly enough. He is an exceptional employment lawyer—knowledgeable, strategic, responsive, and incredibly effective. From our first conversation, I felt confident that I was in the best possible hands.

    From my very first conversation with Steven, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, made me feel heard, and immediately gave me confidence that I had the right team on my side during one of the most difficult times in my life. One gesture that I’ll never forget was when he sent me a copy of his book with a thoughtful handwritten note. It wasn’t something he had to do, but it showed the kind of person he is and how much he genuinely cares about the people he represents. His guidance went far beyond legal advice. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for Steven and the decades he has dedicated to advocating for his clients. It’s clear that this isn’t just a profession for him. He truly cares about helping people move forward. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been one of his clients, and it was an honor to work with him. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did for me and would recommend him without hesitation.

    I have heard about Steven being exceptional, i.e real "employee attorney", straightforward and honest. Now, I have'd first hand experience working with him and can add to that he is also a remarkable human being - tough, and realistic, and a real pleasure to work with: he is returning calls 24/7 and get you the best deal you can possibly hope for!
