NLRB Class Action Waiver Case to be Heard by the Supreme Court

Hot off the presses: The U.S. Supreme Court today agreed to consider whether the National Labor Relations Board is correct in its interpretation that arbitration agreements are illegal under federal labor law if they contain class action waivers, setting the stage for an issue that has divided various circuit courts.

This is a topic of great interest to those in the dispute resolution field. Assuming a new justice joins the Court before this case is heard, I would predict that the Court strikes down the Board’s interpretation. Thoughts?
