NLRB Judge Knocks UnitedHealth Employee Arbitration Pact
When a group of employees banded together to sue their employer, UnitedHealth Group Inc., for wage and hour violations, the company used a forced arbitration clause that banned their collective action to stop their case from moving forward. Hamoudeh v. UnitedHealth Group Inc.
“At the NLRB, the employees argued that, by maintaining and enforcing the arbitration agreement in those court proceedings, UnitedHealth had violated Section 7 of the NLRA, which confers employees the rights to organize and engage in concerted activity. Referencing the board’s precedent in D.R. Horton — which determined that mandatory arbitration pacts requiring workers to waive their class or collective action rights violate the NLRA — Judge Green on Tuesday agreed with the UnitedHealth employees’ argument.”
