A federal judge in Pennsylvania has stayed a Fair Labor Standards Act suit against U-Haul International and its subsidiaries until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling in a trio of cases over the enforceability of workplace arbitration agreements that ban class actions.
Arguments in those cases—National Labor Relations Board v. Murphy Oil USA, Epic Systems v. Lewis and Ernst & Young v. Morris—are scheduled to take place Oct. 2. U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Leeson Jr. of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania gave the parties in the U-Haul litigation 20 days from the date on which the Supreme Court issues an opinion to file additional briefing.
