Hoteliers navigate tricky class-action waiver landscape

On February 12, 2018, Dana Kravetz was extensively quoted in the Hotel Management article, “Hoteliers navigate tricky class-action waiver landscape.” In the piece, Mr. Kravetz comments about the difficulty hotel employers may have getting existing employees (who are increasingly savvy when it comes to employment law) to agree to class-action waivers in arbitration agreements should the U.S. Supreme Court find such provisions to be enforceable. As set forth in the article, a decision by the high court on this issue is anticipated to be handed down shortly, and the NLRB has reversed course and taken a pro-business stance supporting enforceability.
