In a recent decision, the Fifth Circuit reaffirmed its positions that mandatory class action waivers do not violate Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”). In Convergys Corp. v. NLRB, the Fifth Circuit stated that an employee’s right to a collective action is procedural, not substantive, and signing a waiver therefore did not violate any substantive rights under the NLRA.
