The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to the rights of workers on Monday by allowing companies to require them to sign away their ability to bring class-action claims against management, agreements already in place for about 25 million employees.
The justices, in a 5-4 ruling with the court’s conservatives in the majority, endorsed the legality of the growing practice by companies to compel workers to sign arbitration agreements waiving their right to bring class-action claims on various disputes, primarily over wages and hours.
The ruling could apply more broadly to discrimination claims but the court did not explicitly address that issue.

Great decision! Strike a big blow against unions....I always talked for myself, didn't need a union to get me better pay or save my job! I did it by being to work every day and duh WORKING! Get the pacifiers out for the snowflakes.
