• How the companies' EOC policies and practices create advantages or disadvantages for their sustainability and growth?
• What could the companies learn from each other?
• Which company would you find more attractive as a potential employee? Why?
Assignment 2: 10th Justice; Employee Arbitration Agreements
All organizations in the country employ people. Employment laws impact everyone, regardless if you are actively employed or not. As employers continue to control costs associated with claims from employees, employers have commonly turned to arbitration agreements. These agreements normally require employees to waive any right or protection afforded by joining a class action and instead forces each individual employee to take the claims before an individual arbitration. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decided this year in Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis by a narrow margin of 5-4 that employers could enforce these arbitration agreements.
In your assignment explain why the court got this correct AND explain why the court was wrong. Lastly, if you were the 10th justice how would you vote and why?
