The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on mandatory arbitration agreements. Workers are being forced to sign mandatory arbitration agreements that waive their rights to go to court as conditions of employment nationwide.

These agreements take away worker rights to file lawsuits or in come cases to take disputes with the employers to the National Labor Relations Board. Federal labor law protects worker rights go to court or the NLRB when employers are violating the law.

Chicago and San Francisco federal courts upheld the workers refusing to sign the arbitration agreements. A New Orleans federal court didn't.

Now the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether or not mandatory arbitration agreements forced on workers are legal or not.
