Workers Beware: Forced Arbitration Can Happen To You
Since 1997, William Foshey, Sr. has installed window treatments for Home Depot customers. In 2012, Mr. Foshey filed a class action complaint alleging the company misclassified himself and similar crew members as independent contractors. Allegedly these employees did not enjoy properly classified employees’ benefits. Mr. Foshey also alleged misclassified employees never received earned overtime wages. After filing suit, Home Depot successfully moved to compel arbitration based on a provision Mr. Foshey was required to sign as a condition of employment.
