Forum Magazine Publishes Stiller Article on Arbitration

The U.S. Supreme Court case of Viking River Cruises v. Moriana changed how California litigators think of one of the state’s most important Labor Code enforcement statutes, the Private Attorney Generals Act (“PAGA”). Viking has led to a raft of litigation by employers trying to dismiss PAGA claims based on arbitration clauses. But not all arbitration agreements fall under Viking’s reach. This is the conclusion in Ari J. Stiller’s recent article, “Viking’s Unanswered Questions,” appearing in the September/October issue of Forum magazine (published by the Consumer Attorneys of California). Anyone practicing PAGA litigation may want to check out the article mapping out the most common types of employee arbitration agreements and how they stack up (or don't) to Viking.
