Labor: SCOTUS ruling in Epic Systems v. Lewis strikes major blow to workers’ rights

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision in Epic Systems v. Lewis was condemned as an "assault" on working people and a "major blow to workers’ rights," by labor leaders and supporters. The Court held that employers can enforce arbitration agreements that forbid workers from banding together in class action lawsuits. 32BJ SEIU Vice President Jaime Contreras (right) said the decision "gives a major victory to unscrupulous corporations who wish to further rig the system against working people."​
