The California Supreme Court has recently ruled that class action waivers contained in arbitration agreements are enforceable. These arbitration agreements with class action waivers create guidelines where an employer would only engage in individual arbitration with each employee bringing a claim against the employer, rather than employees banding together to bring one class action suit against the employer.
