Eleventh Circuit Is the Latest Federal Appellate Court to Enforce Arbitration Agreements with Class Action Waivers

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit became the latest federal appellate court to enforce an arbitration agreement with a class action waiver in a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act. In Walthour v. Chipio Windshield Repair, LLC, the court affirmed the district court’s order granting the employers’ motion to compel plaintiffs to arbitrate their FLSA claims on an individual basis.
