Supreme Court backs businesses in ban on worker class actions
The Supreme Court rules that employers may require individual arbitration over pay and workplace disputes, affecting about 25 million non unionized workers. Justices split five to four with conservatives in the majority, while four liberal justices warn of harm to low wage workers and civil rights protections. An arbitration emphasis may extend to discrimination claims and other issues if contracts require one on one arbitration.
