Arbitration clauses in employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements offer the best shield against class actions and collective actions by employees, former employees, plaintiff-side employment attorneys, and anti-discrimination agencies.  But new laws, such as 2022’s Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, have raised questions about the enforceability of arbitration provisos.  And aggressive plaintiff-side lawyers have found tactics to make arbitration more onerous for employers.  To keep arbitration as a valuable risk-management option, management-side attorneys and HR Compliance Professionals need to know both law and procedure.
