"On March 12, 2024, the Ninth Circuit published a decision in Ortiz v. Randstad Inhouse Services, LLC, holding that the Plaintiff Adan Ortiz qualified as a 'transportation worker' under the Federal Arbitration Act, and was thus exempted from mandatory arbitration under the FAA. The district court rejected the employer’s arguments that Plaintiff was bound by the arbitration mandate under the FAA because he performed duties on a purely local basis."

On February 20, 2024, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that may have a dramatic impact on whether employers may compel the arbitration of workplace disputes. Last fall I wrote an article for the Daily Journal about the United States Supreme Court's grant of review in the case of Bissonnette v. LaPage Bakeries. In a nutshell, the issue for review is whether Section One of the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), which provides an exemption from the FAA's coverage for "contracts of employment of . . . workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce," should be read broadly or narrowly. A broad reading of the Section One exemption would mean that more employees are exempt from the FAA and might not be required to agree to mandatory arbitration of workplace disputes. A narrow reading of the Section One exemption would mean the opposite; i.e., that fewer employees are exempt from the FAA, and thus likely can be required to arbitrate workplace disputes. The February 20, 2024 oral argument will give the first real indication of how the Court sees this issue, and how the Court views an employer's ability to require arbitration of disputes as a condition of employment. Stay tuned! Here is a link to my prior article printed in the Daily Journal: https://lnkd.in/gsWcmYep
