New Federal Bill Seeks to Limit Use of Arbitration Agreements
Employers are advised to follow developments in the legislature and government agencies to curtail the use of arbitration agreements, writes on the website of Cullen and Dykman LLP.
“Employers should also monitor decisions issued from federal agencies such as the NLRB and stay current with laws involving arbitration agreements in order to ensure compliance with both state and federal law,” according to the article.
The article also discusses a bill introduced by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, titled “Restoring Statutory Rights and Interests of the States Act of 2016,” that would limit the use of arbitration agreements in civil rights cases, employment disputes, and other lawsuits.
