Overtime Violation? You're on your own.

Please note the clause that I've made bold above. Did the majority on the court purposely ignore this to please those who are really calling the shots in this country.

Joining a class action lawsuit is neither mutual aid nor protection.
Going through arbitration or other Alternative Dispute Resolution practices is neither mutual aid nor protection.

Clearly, SCOTUS found that basic contract law -- employees voluntarily signing on the dotted line -- trumps NLRB decisions regarding arbitration and class action.

There are many other areas where SCOTUS has gone the other direction. For example, let's say I sign a contract agreeing to become your slave. Even though I voluntarily sign it, SCOTUS has long held such a contract is null, void, & unenforceable.

Although I respect the fact that you are speaking with some degree of experience, I still can't reconcile the court's decision with the clause below from the NLRA.

and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection,
It shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer-- (1) to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 7

Concerted activities, mutual aid or protection, rights of employees. The clause above seems to scream that restricting the right of class action suit is unlawful. We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Please read and respond to my other posts. As a married man, I have enough wisdom to know that I'm only right some of the time.

Employees would now be forced into arbitration with huge legal fees.
November is a few months away. Let's correct the mistake that so many made in 2016.

SCOTUS properly said you must follow the rules you agreed to when you signed your labor agreement.

They ruled properly.

No need for any legal fees, btw.

Binding arbitration does not apply when a State or Federal agency enforces their statutes and collects back wages. Employees are not charged fees for that service. Often there is more than one way to achieve a result.
