Get More Done: 100 Ways to Increase Productivity
Your search for today's best productivity ideas just ended! We wrote the (e)Book on how to make everyone in your organization more organized, efficient and happy.
Class Action Waivers Take a Hit
In a decision handed down on August 22, 2016, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit--the federal court with jurisdiction over Washington State--set aside an employment class-action waiver requiring employees to pursue employment claims exclusively through arbitration and only as individuals in "separate proceedings." In the decision of Morris, et. Al. v. Ernst & Young, LLP, et al, the Ninth Circuit held that such a mandatory waiver violated the employees’ right under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") to engage in so-called "concerted activities."
