To prove a point from this current U.S. Supreme Court, this just in today: Supreme Court limits California labor law that allows private suits against employers
In a victory for California employers, the Supreme Court on Wednesday placed limits on a state labor law that authorizes private lawsuits on behalf of groups of workers, even if they had agreed to resolve their disputes through individual arbitration.
The majority ruled the Federal Arbitration Act preempts or overrides the state law. The outcome appears to limit private suits but not block them entirely.
