The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to issue a ruling soon that could reshape the influence of class action plaintiffs on the workplace—not to mention the workloads of employment lawyers nationwide.
The justices heard arguments in three related cases, consolidated as Epic Systems v. Lewis, on Oct. 2, 2017, the very first day of this term. The court is evaluating whether mandatory arbitration agreements between individual employees and employers that include class action waivers are enforceable.
