"The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to the rights of workers on Monday by allowing companies to require them to sign away their ability to bring class-action claims against management"
"The justices, in a 5-4 ruling with the court’s conservatives in the majority, endorsed the legality of the growing practice by companies to compel workers to sign arbitration agreements waiving their right to bring class-action claims on various disputes"
"Workers have fought back against the waivers, arguing that the cost of pursuing their cases individually in arbitration is prohibitively expensive"
"Republican President Donald Trump’s administration last year reversed the government’s stance in the case, siding with the companies. The Justice Department said it was pleased with Monday’s ruling."

So along with fiduciary rules, safety regulations, consumer protection, net neutrality, anti-pollution guards, we can not add eliminating class action lawsuits to the list that is just making America greater by the day
Amazing part is that eliminating these protections largely effects greater the very people who support this Administration the loudest, it ain't a lot of those college educated urbanites working at Walmart

The court did the right thing in saying "none of our business". This should be handled by the legislature as is true of nearly all issues. If you want workers to have the right to file class-action suits, then get a law passed saying so.

I am not sure why they would want to go the class-action route anyway. Typically there are already government agencies people can go to if they are being forced to work without pay, etc.
There is a law, National Labor Relations Act, the Court just ruled that forcing workers to sign arbitration agreements does not violate the National Labor Relations Act. The legislative angle is malarkey
You got to blind not to see the motivation behind the case, companies would rather deal with individuals than a group since they can just legally exhaust the individual. As I noted, just another chip at those securities in place that protect the average citizen, and the people who are usually hurt the most are the Trump supporters
NOBODY is FORCED to sign these agreements. it's a condition of employment. don't want to sign it, don't accept a position there.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Oh, so it is kinda like the closed shop agreement that the conservatives fought so hard to eliminate that what they couldn't achieve legislatively they have taken all the way to the Supreme Court, bet you didn't have the same view on that one
Like the guy applying to work at Walmart has so many other employment opportunities that he is going to move on
